This review is an update of 2 previously published articles on airborne contact dermatoses. Because reports in the literature often omit the term ‘airborne’, 18 volumes of Contact Dermatitis (April 1991–June 2000), 8 volumes of the American Journal of Contact Dermatitis (1992–1999) and 4 volumes of La Lettre du Gerda (1996–1999) were screened, and the cases cited were classified as to history, lesion locations, sensitization sources, and other factors. Reports on airborne dermatitis are increasingly being published, sometimes in relation to specific occupational areas.
