We present a 54-year-old woman who suffered eczematous eruptions on her face after the administration of lidocaine and mepivacaine for dental surgeries. Patch tests showed delayed-type-hypersensitivity to the amide local anesthetics lidocaine and mepivacaine with cross reaction to other amynoacylderivatives (prilocaine,bupivacaine) but not articaine.
