title: [Photoallergy to quinine].
abstract: A case of occupational photodermatitis induced by quinin sulphate is reported. Photobiologic investigation disclosed the responsible photoallergin, demonstrated the mechanism to be of the photoallergic type, and proved the active rays to be mostly UVA. It seems that we do not deal with a contact photodermatitis, but with an internal photosensitization induced by absorption or inhalation of quinin powder and possibly excreting during sweating.
