چکیده
Methods Demonstrate SNAS which is characterized by contact dermatitis to nickel and systemic reactions after ingestion of rich foods nickel.We evaluated adult patients with ages between 18 and 65 years, positive patch test for nickel, grades 3 and 4, and who had symptoms suggestive of SNAS.These patients had eczematous lesions of contact dermatitis did not disappear. That even with the exclusion of products containing nickel in this composition worsened without new skin exposure to these products. The study was made with 331 patients selected among January of 2012 to April 2014, and 87 of them related worsening with ingestion of food that they didn’t know who to identify.

متن کاملIrritable Bowel Syndrome and Nickel Allergy: What Is the Role of the Low Nickel Diet?
Background/Aims Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is characterized by chronic abdominal pain or discomfort accompanied by abnormal bowel movements. In sensitized subjects, ingested nickel (Ni) may induce gastrointestinal symptoms similar to IBS, in addition to typical systemic cutaneous lesions (systemic nickel allergy syndrome [SNAS]). A low nickel diet could improve the systemic manifestations. ...
متن کاملComplementary Intradermal and Patch Testing for Increased Diagnostic Accuracy of Nickel Allergy in Non-Celiac Wheat Insensitivity
D'Alcamo et al. astutely highlighted a potential immunologic association between nickel allergy, determined by positive epicutaneous patch testing, and the rise of non-celiac wheat sensitivity (NCWS) in the world of gluten-related diseases. Consecutive algorithms including both patch and intradermal testing could provide vital information to more accurately define the patient populations with N...
متن کاملNickel Hypersensitivity: A General Review on Clinical Aspects and Potential
Allergic contact hypersensitivity to metals is a delayed-type allergy. Although various metals are able to induce an allergic reaction, nickel is the most frequent cause of metal allergy worldwide. The high prevalence of skin sensitization to that metal is the result of an ubiquitous exposure, being contained in different everyday things, such as detergents, cheap jewelry, cosmetics, coins, but...
