Contact eczema caused by textiles

doc. MUDr. Eliška Dastychová CSc
Dermatovenerologická klinika, FN Brno

Previously, textile-related contact eczema was mainly caused by urea-formaldehyde and melamine-formaldehyde resins used for

crease-resistant finishing. Sensitization resulted from the formaldehyde released or from the entire resin molecule. Currently, cyclic

urea derivatives are used for crease-resistant finishing, which rarely cause sensitization and release formaldehyde in smaller quantities.

Among textile dyes, the most common sensitizers are azo dyes. A patient may be concomitantly sensitized to some of the para-amino

compounds. In the case of group hypersensitivity, a patient sensitized to some of the para-amino compounds may respond by a contact

allergic reaction to azo dyed textiles.

Keywords: contact eczema, textile dyes, azo dyes, plastic materials, urea-formaldehyde resins, melamine-formaldehyde resins, cyclic urea derivatives.
