A case of contract sensitization to the ethylene oxide by a mask sterilized with this substance is reported. The mask was correctly sterilized but the ethylene oxide was not completely evaporised. The path tests were positive in the patient but negative in 25 control subjects. The patch tests with the international series and with all the elements of the mask were negative. The possible troubles of ethylene oxide and the sterylisation methodes of this substance are reviewed.
