title: [Household cleansers and nickel allergies].
abstract: Attention of authors has been drawn by the observation of patients presenting a nickel-dermatosis, instigating by the touch of jewelry (ear-rings, bracelets, necklaces...) and also a sensitization for housework cleansing agents. The chemical analysis of numerous housework cleansing agents exhibited the constant presence of nickel in these housework cleansings. These investigations enable the authors to affirm a close relationship between sensitization for nickel and sensitization for housework cleansings. Some patients present also sensitization for chromium or cobalt. The authors think this polysensitization is induced by metal's contamination.
