Resumo: Systemic allergic dermatitis caused by local anaesthetics is quite uncommon, and has been mainly attributed to cinchocaine (dibucaine). We report an unusual case of baboon syndrome induced by an anti-haemorrhoidal ointment, most likely attributable to tetracaine (ametho- caine) in a patient previously sensitized both to amide and ester local anaesthetics by skin contact.
