title: [Ethylenediamine allergy].
abstract: Evaluation of our Patch-test results from 1977-1979. Proven allergies to ethylene diamine (ED): 2,17%; proven allergies to ethylene diamine tetraacetate (EDTA): 1,7%. Enormous increase of ED-allergies since the first publication 1959 attributed to the following: 1. The widespread use of ED with a tabullary presentation of all detectable means of application of ED. 2. Cross allergies of various other substances. Summary of cases in the literature regarding source of sensitization and evocation of clinical reaction. Surprisingly high quota of EDTA allergies in our patient records. Reference to the widespread use of EDTA (tables).
