title: Cutaneous reaction to contrast material.
abstract: Two children are described who developed an apparent cutaneous contact reaction to contrast material in urine. Both children had undergone uneventful voiding cystourethrography with diatrizoate meglumine injection USP 18% followed by intravenous urography with diatrizoate meglumine injection USP 60%. Approximately 1 hour after urography cutaneous bullae and surrounding erythema of the buttocks (one case) or foreskin (one case) were noted. This reaction resembled a superficial chemical burn.
