OCCUPATIONAL AIRBORNE CONTACT DERMATITIS FROM PROTON PUMP INHIBITORS

摘要

Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPI) are members of the benzimidazole family, and are commonly used in the treatment of acid-related disorders such as gastroesophageal reflux disease, peptic ulcer disease, associated Helicobacter pylori infection and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, as they are potent inhibitors of gastric acid secretion. We report three cases of occupational airborne contact dermatitis from proton pump inhibitors (lansoprazole, omeprazole and pantoprazole) among workers in the pharmaceutical industry.
