| Abstract |
A batch maker in a paint manufacturing company developed a recurring dermatitis resembling a poison ivy rash. Patch testing showed the dermatitis to be an allergic response to the title compound, the active ingredient in an anti-mildew component of the paint. Because the compound is highly corrosive, care must be taken in patch testing to avoid false positive tests and inadvertent sensitisation. |
