Airborne agents can cause several skin reactions in occupational and less frequently in non-occupational settings, due to their strong irritant and/or sensitizing properties (1). Airborne allergic contact dermatitis is frequently caused by woods (2), above all tropical and subtropical woods containing many strong contact allergens, such as quinones (3). A case of airborne allergic contact dermatitis caused by Machaerium (M.) scleroxylon, confirmed by in vivo and in vitro tests, is described. This article is protected by copyright.

Abstract
Airborne agents can cause several skin reactions in occupational and less frequently in non-occupational settings, due to their strong irritant and/or sensitizing properties (1). Airborne allergic contact dermatitis is frequently caused by woods (2), above all tropical and subtropical woods containing many strong contact allergens, such as quinones (3). A case of airborne allergic contact dermatitis caused by Machaerium (M.) scleroxylon, confirmed by in vivo and in vitro tests, is described. This article is protected by copyright.
