title: Photoallergic reaction to fluorescein.
abstract: A photoallergic reaction to fluorescein was demonstrated in a male diabetic by photopatch and photoprovocation tests. Sensitization was acquired by tonometries using a fluorescein-containing local anesthetic, preceding fluorescein angiography for diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy. Histopathological examination of skin lesions induced in both photopatch and photoprovocation tests confirmed the diagnosis of photoallergic reaction to fluorescein.
