[Contact allergy to dicyclohexylcarbodiimide].
Allergic contact dermatitis occurring in a 25 years old female biochemist was found to be due to occupational handling of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC). This was confirmed by patch testing. Though DCC is widely used in peptide chemistry as completing reagent, only a few publications report occupational allergic contact dermatitis.
