title: [Airborne contact dermatitis].
abstract: A comprehensive bibliographical retrieval of case reports on "airborne contact dermatitis" (ACD) was performed. The present review deals with the first cases published in 1986, 1991, 2001 by Huygens as well as by Dooms-Goossens, and continues with the other pertaining clinical presentations until to day. Solid particles, rather than gases or droplets, are the most frequently reported causes of ACD.
