Abstract

In this issue, Novak et al. (2008) provide evidence that filaggrin barrier defects might also predispose to allergic contact dermatitis by allowing greater penetration of chemical haptens. Their report provides a fresh perspective on the issues of contact allergy, nickel sensitization, and stratum corneum defects.
