Abstract

The occurrence of contact urticaria was studied in 101 laboratory technicians investigated for allergy to laboratory animals. Fourteen cases of contact urticaria caused by rat were found. Other animals causing contact urticarial reactions were mouse (7), guinea-pig (4), and cat (2). Hand eczema was not found in laboratory technicians with contact urticaria and IgE-antibodies to laboratory animals.
