Abstract |
Following a short introductory review of the literature on ethylenediamine contact allergy, the author describes a case in a synthetic-fibre factory. Ethylenediamine was used as a stabiliser in the manufacture of caprolactam polymerisation products. Examination and testing revealed monovalent skin sensitisation to ethylenediamine. The ethylenediamine produced contact eczema on the uncovered parts of the skin and toxic irritant phenomena of the upper respiratory tract. |
