Allergology Section, Hospital Virgen del Camino, Pamplona, Spain.

We report the case of a man who worked in a feed factory. He developed allergic contact dermatitis due to airborne spiramycin, a commonly used antibiotic in veterinary medicine. The patient suffered recurrent outbreaks of eczematous lesions on uncovered areas during working periods. Diagnosis was made based on history, positive patch tests to spiramycin and to some feed compounds containing spiramycin, and on disappearance of lesions on leaving the work place.
