Sažetak
Contact dermatitis caused by topical drugs is rather common all over the world. A case is presented of a 76-year-old female patient with venous leg ulcer, who developed contact sensitivity to Clostridium peptidase with chloramphenicol, i.e. Iruxol, a topical antiulcerative used for years for leg lesions. Patch testing confirmed sensitivity to Iruxol, and specific testing for chloramphenicol confirmed sensitivity to the antibiotic component of the ointment. Contact allergic dermatitis is a very common disease in patients with lower limb ulcer and venous hypostatic dermatitis.
