| Abstract |
This article describes an attack of severe abdominal pain, hypertension, leucocytosis and hepatic damage following an accidental dermal and respiratory exposure to dimethylformamide (DMF). Pain began 62 hours after the man - a mixing machine operator - received a splash of DMF over approximately 20% of his body surface, and was associated with porphobilinogenuria. |
