Pacemaker contact sensitivity: clinical recognition and management

HI Abdallah, RK Balsara and AC O'Riordan
Department of Pediatrics, Temple University School of Medicine, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Patch skin tests were positive for titanium and polyurethane sensitization. Although pacemaker contact sensitivity is rare, its recognition is of vital importance to the pacemaker-dependent patient.
