title: Contact dermatitis in the bowling pro shop.
abstract: A 29-year-old bowling pro shop operator presented with recurrent disseminated erythematous and edematous patches and plaques. Patch-testing with the North American Contact Dermatitis Group (NACDG) standard series yielded ++ and + reactions to epoxy resin at 2 and 7 days, respectively. We could find no other report of epoxy resin contact allergy in a bowling pro shop operator.
