Bibliographic information Apr.-June 1987, Vol.34, No.135, p.17-20. 14 ref.
Abstract Review of the different uses of thioureas in industry (manufacture of shoes, rubber clothes, photocopy paper etc.) and of the cutaneous affections observed among both workers and users of the final products. Allergic contact dermatitis due to thiourea has been found among persons using these products. In Spain, only 3 cases of sensibilisation have been reported. In the first case it was due to swimming goggles and in the second to sport shoes. The third case was a construction worker who could have been affected by the use of rubber gloves or shoes.
