A case of allergic contact dermatitis due to gold pierced earrings is reported. The patient developed recurring redness and swelling on her earlobes a month after the wearing of pierced-type gold earrings, which was followed by the appearance of reddish nodules around the puncture marks. Patch tests revealed positive reactions to 0.1% mercuric chloride, 1% gold sodium thiomalate and 0.2% chloroauric acid. We also demonstrated that guinea pigs contact-sensitized with a mercuric compound developed positive patch test reactions to both mercuric and gold compounds. These results suggest that there may be correlations between gold and mercury hypersensitivities.
报告了一例因佩戴金质穿孔耳环引起的过敏性接触性皮炎病例。患者在佩戴穿孔式金耳环一个月后，耳垂反复出现红肿，随后在穿刺部位周围出现微红结节。斑贴试验显示对0.1%氯化汞、1%硫代苹果酸金钠和0.2%氯金酸呈阳性反应。我们还证明，用汞化合物进行接触致敏的豚鼠对汞和金化合物的斑贴试验均呈阳性反应。这些结果表明，金过敏和汞过敏之间可能存在关联。
