title: [Iodine allergy].
abstract: We report on a patient with an iodine allergy. He developed a delayed cutaneous reaction after receiving an iodinated radiographic contrast media and at the same time topical disinfection with povidone-iodine. In the patch- and intradermal tests he showed positive results with various radiographic contrast media, povidone- iodine and iodine, but not with povidone.
