Abstract
Pediatric
systemic allergic contact dermatitis to nickel has previously been
reported in association with cocoa. We present four clinical cases of
hypersensitivity temporally associated with chocolate consumption at Easter.
Clinicians should be aware of the potential for foods high in nickel to
provoke patients with known nickel sensitivity and systemic dermatitis.
