  • Title: Occupational contact dermatitis to gold.
    Author: Tan E, Delaney TA.
    Journal: Australas J Dermatol; 1996 Nov; 37(4):218-9. PubMed ID: 8961594.
    Abstract:
    A case of occupational contact dermatitis to gold is presented. This is uncommon as gold is relatively insoluble. Allergic contact dermatitis to gold is confirmed by patch testing with gold sodium thiosulfate 0.5% in petrolatum. Occupational contact dermatitis in the gold industry can be reduced by providing workers with more protective gear and better ventilation.
