Preface

Chemistry plays a major role in our understanding of allergic con-

tact dermatitis (ACD), but playing with molecules is not always an

easy task for nonspecialists. This book has been written to famil-

iarize the reader with the structures of some of the chemicals

involved in ACD. We have attempted to provide useful information

for those who would like to find out more from the literature or on

the internet: the principal name; the most important synonym(s);

the Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) registry number, which is the

identity number of a molecule; and a few relevant literature refer-

ences. Considering the chemical structure of one molecule and

comparing it with that of another is the only way to discuss pos-

sible cross-reactions when several patch tests are positive in the

same patient.

Most of the molecules listed in this book are not in the

European Standard series, nor are they in the more specialized bat-

teries, but experience shows that patients can be exposed to them

in their environment. Therefore, we have added to this dictionary

of contact allergens some guidelines on patch testing with the

patients’ own products.

We l c o me to the world of chemistry!
