AB  - BACKGROUND: Protein contact dermatitis is a form of contact dermatitis possibly 
      triggered by proteinaceous allergens. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We report two 
      patients with a history of erythematous and urticarial skin reactions followed by 
      transformation into prolonged papular symptoms upon contact with proteinaceous 
      material. RESULTS: The symptoms reported by the patients were reproducible by 
      skin testing with meat (cow) and fish (salmon). Both patients experienced 
      extracutaneous manifestations after ingestion of meat and fish, as proven by oral 
      challenge. Specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies were detected in the 
      patients' blood. CONCLUSIONS: Both cases meet all major criteria of protein 
      contact dermatitis, suggesting IgE-mediated immediate-type hypersensitivity with 
      late-phase cutaneous reactions.
