Abstract

Cases of dermatosis caused by surgical implants are not infrequently observed. They are represented by many clinical forms. The pathology slides most often reveal a more or less dense dermal infiltration associated with signs of allergic angeitis. The pathophysiology is described as an intermediate or retarded hypersensibility or continuous non-specific antigen stimulation. The diagnosis is confirmed by the cure following removal of the surgical implants since the epicutaneous tests are not always fiable. We noted two patients whose clinical profile ressembled that of hematodermie.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
