We report on a patient, seen in 1993, who developed sensitization to eosin from topical preparations. The patient had a positive patch test reaction to pure tetrabromofiuorescein but not to its impurities separated by thin‐layer chromatography. Our findings suggest that the allergen was eosin itself.
