Method
- Type of population:
- general
- Ethical approval:
- not applicable
- Subjects:
- A 62-year old woman.
- Clinical history:
- Two year history of severe intermittent facial dermatitis associated with an itchym burning sensation and oedema.
- Controls:
- Yes but no data.
- Route of administration:
- dermal
- Details on study design:
- Patch testing according to the British Contact Dermatitis Society standards series. Individual ingredients of the moisturizing lotion containing 2, 5 and 10% dioctyl maleate in petrolatum was tested. 15 control patients were included.

- Results of examinations:
- Patch testing with 2,5 and 10% dioctyl maleate in petrolatum showed a strong positive reaction. Patch testing in control patients was negative.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Authors suggested that dioctyl maleate is an allergen or skin sensitizer in humans.
- Executive summary:
A 62-year old woman with a history of severe intermittent facial dermatitis including itchy, burning sensation and oedema was reported. A patch testing was conducted to individual ingredients of the moisturizing lotion containing 2, 5, and 10% of dioctyl maleate in petrolatum. Patch testing showed positive reaction to dioctyl maleate at all concentrations. Control patients with petrolatum were negative. Authors suggested that dioctyl maleate was a skin sensitizer.
