A case is reported of a 13-year-old girl who developed a facial rash shortly after orthodontic headgear was fitted. Patch testing revealed that she was strongly allergic to nickel and also allergic to cobalt and chrome. A diagnosis of allergic contact dermatitis was made. Painting the metal buckle of the cervical strap with polyurethane paint prevented further development of her rash, while allowing her orthodontic treatment to progress.
报告了一例13岁女孩的病例,该女孩在佩戴正畸头带后不久面部出现皮疹。斑贴试验显示她对镍高度过敏,同时对钴和铬也过敏。诊断为过敏性接触性皮炎。用聚氨酯漆涂抹颈带的金属扣可防止皮疹进一步发展,同时使她的正畸治疗得以继续进行。
