| Abstract |
The case is reported of a 24-year-old woman working as a fabric cutter who reacted to dimethylthiourea, an ancillary component of the diazo-sensitised paper used for copying cutting patterns, with conjunctivitis and erythematous itching dermatitis of the eyelids, nasal mucous membranes, and the corners of the mouth. Her dermatitis disappeared when she left the clothing industry. |
