Abstract |
An outbreak of occupational dermatitis in a rubber tyre factory is reported. An unusual clinical picture was recognised. Patch tests revealed a high sensitisation rate to the mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) derivative used: 2-(2-4'dinitrophenylthio)benzothiazole. Since tests with MBT mix and dinitrophenol were negative, sensitisation to a contaminant was suspected. Dinitrochlorobenzene, a starting material for manufacture of the dinitrophenylthiobenzothiazole, was traced as the substance responsible. |
