Systemic contact dermatitis from miconazole.

This article presents a case report on systematic contact dermatitis from miconazole. Miconazole is an imidazole antifungal. A 35-year-old man with oral candidiasis was treated with Daktarin® oral solution. After 7 days he presented with a generalized, itchy, maculopapular eruption. Patch tests were performed with the standard series on Daktarin® solution and its constituents and an azole battery. This was the first case on contact dermatitis from imidazoles and has become well-known, though remained unusual.
