Abstract

A case of occupational contact urticaria syndrome caused by cefotiam dihydrochloride (CTM) in a Japanese nurse is reported. The patient had become sensitized to CTM through the process of preparing antibiotics 8 months before she developed symptoms. A review of the literature revealed 13 similar cases, all involving Japanese nurses, reported since CTM became available in Japan.
