title: Contact dermatitis after ultrasonography and electrocardiography.
abstract: We report 4 patients who developed allergic contact dermatitis after ultrasound investigations. Patch testing was positive with conducting gels, and in 2 cases with propylene glycol. Contact dermatitis to gels is also seen in electrographic practice and after transcutaneous electrical analgesia.
