| Abstract |
Medical examination of a worker with 3 years of exposure to ethylenediamine showed initial signs of allergy after the 1st year. Ethylenediamine possesses irritant and allergenic properties, and contact with it can lead to development of allergic dermatitis and eczema, sometimes in combination with allergic bronchitis and asthma. Delayed diagnosis and continuing contact with ethylenediamine result in spreading of the dermatitis and serious complications. |
