Abstract

Allergic contact dermatitis to nitrofurazone has been reported from Europe and elsewhere from the use of eyedrops and topical ointments, and the drug in some livestock feeds and veterinary medications has caused a few cases of allergic contact dermatitis in humans. The authors report what appears to be the first case of contact dermatitis from airborne nitrofurazone secondary to a powdered aquarium water additive.
