Katzenpfoten bei Typ IV-Allergie auf P-Phenylendiamin nach Henna-Tattoo

We report on a young female patient with allergic contact dermatitis bearing traces of a cat beginning 3 to 5 days after the application of a henna-tattoo. In patch testing we found a type IV-allergy to p-phenylendiamin that was responsible for the reaction. Under topical therapy with class III-cortiocosteroides the contact dermatitis healed quickly. Cross-sensitization to other contact allergens such as in our case to para-toluylendiamin may occur. PPD is still an important allergen with high sensitation potential in business and private life.
