A 21-year-old man experienced persistent swelling of his lips and generalized pruritus without hives associated with swimming. Provocative testing with tap water produced transient edema and pruritus. Sweating and methacholine testing did not produce cholinergic urticaria. After several weeks, the angioedema gradually subsided, the reaction to tap water became negative, and the patient was able to swim again without reactions. Water should be added to the list of physical agents that cause angioedema as well as urticaria.

A 21-year-old woman developed an erythematous papulovesicular eruption of photo-exposed sites, following the use of an oxybenzone-containing sunscreen. Patch testing, photopatch testing, phototesting, and histology produced findings strongly suggestive of oxybenzone photoallergy. Photopatch testing with a monochromator source showed abnormal UVA responses, with evidence of immediate urticaria, and delayed-onset dermatitis. Sun-barrier use is associated with a risk of the development of contact or photocontact allergic reactions. The benzophenones are frequently used in high-protection factor sun-barrier preparations, and appear to have a particular ability to induce such responses.

We analyzed the alarm pheromone components from five colonies of Africanized honeybees and three colonies of European honeybees collected in Mexico. Analyses revealed a novel alarm pheromone component that was only present in appreciable quantities in the Africanized bee samples. Analysis of the mass spectrum and subsequent synthesis confirmed that this compound is 3-methyl-2-buten-1-yl acetate (3M2BA), an unsaturated derivative of IPA. In Africanized honeybees, sampling from stings of guards showed that 3M2BA was present at levels of 0-38% the amount of isoamyl acetate (IPA). Behavioral assays from three colonies each of Africanized and European bees showed that 3M2BA recruited worker bees from hives of both Africanized bees and European bees at least as efficiently as isopentyl acetate IPA, a compound widely reported to have the highest activity for releasing alarm and stinging behavior in honeybees. However, a mixture of of 3M2BA and IPA (1:2) recruited bees more efficiently than either of the compounds alone. None of the compounds differed in their efficacy for inducing bees to pursue the observers.

A 21-month-old boy developed urticaria multiforme during the course of a presumed pneumonia, which was treated with imacillin. At admission to hospital he was initially considered to have erythema multiforme, but the correct diagnosis was soon established as urticaria multiforme. He had a good response to antihistamines. The diagnostic differences between urticaria multiforme and erythema multiforme are presented in this case report.

A 21-year-old male patient with no history of systemic disease or drug use presented to our clinic with redness and pain in the right eye. Best corrected visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes. Inflamed pinguecula was observed on slit-lamp examination and the patient was prescribed ophthalmic nepafenac eye drops. After instilling the drops that day and the next day, the patient presented again due to pruritus and rash. Upon consultation with the dermatology department, the patient was diagnosed with drug-induced allergic urticaria and the nepafenac drops were discontinued. Although urticaria has been reported as a side effect after systemic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use, such a reaction has not been reported with an ophthalmic NSAID and ours is the first reported case of urticaria following ophthalmic nepafenac use. This unique case highlights the fact that ophthalmologists must also keep urticaria in mind as a potential side effect when prescribing this drug.
