Textile dye sensitization is rare; its low incidence (1.4% to 5.8%) is most likely because dye contact allergy is not suspected and therefore not tested. The greatest number of positive test results are obtained for disperse dyes. We report an uncommon observation of severe and chronic textile dye dermatitis with positive patch test results to Disperse Blue 106, Disperse Blue 124, Disperse Brown 1, Disperse Yellow 3, and p-aminophenol.p-aminophenol, Disperse Blue 124, and Disperse Blue 106 are derived from p-phenylenediamine, but this allergen seems to be unreliable as a detector of textile dye allergy. The admittedly allergic capacity of disperse dyes and the increasing fabrication of synthetic fibers (acrylics and polyesters) usually colored with this group of dyes could induce more frequent textile sensitization.
