Abstract:
Nitrofurazone is a well known sensitizer and is widely used particularly in surgical department for the treatment of secondary infection, but the reports of all ergic contact dermatitis to nitrofurazone are rare in Korean literature. We experienced a case of allergic eontact dermatitis to 0.2% nitrofurazone in 31-year-old female after dressing the grafted wound on the left index finger with the gauze embedded with 0.2% nitrofurazone olintmnt. The patch test results revealed a strong positve reaction to 0.2% nitrofurazone ointment after 48 hours.
