| Abstract |
2 hospital laboratory assistants developed contact dermatitis from a disposable swab for pre-injection use, containing 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and 1% propylene oxide (PO). Patch testing showed that both patients had positive allergic reactions to PO, and 1 reacted to IPA. Testing of 25 control subjects gave negative results. |
