"the patient shows a reaction to birch, oak, elm and capital D dermat epa glities mother ah arani, egg white, etc"

I know the "capital D" is to help me, but I can't get close enough to find this anywhere. Sorry, I can't believe how much i rely on spell check's suggestions! I am looking up every word i am not positive of, but i have to have someplace to start, if you have a clue for me. TY
