Abstract

Allergic contact dermatitis is an immune reaction to an allergen. Allergy to various surgical dressings and catheters have been reported earlier.1 There are no reports on allergic reaction to micropore at epidural insertion site. We report an adverse skin reaction resulting from the application of Micropore™ frequently used to secure perineural catheters.

Key words: Contact dermatitis; Tegaderm; Epidural analgesia
