title: [Contact dermatitis caused by heterologous proteins].
abstract: A patient (gastronomic employee) presented a sharp dermatosis of eczema type in both hands. Patch-test confirmed sensitivity to heterologous proteins contained in the squid, which he was accustomed to handling. Although the levels of the IgE were elevated, the final diagnostic was dermatitis by allergic heterologous proteins.
