Título original Zur Frage arbeitsbedingter Hautschädigungen durch Polyurethanchemikalien [en alemán]

Resumen On account of the increasing use of polyurethanes the incidence of contact dermatitis, especially that due to diisocyanate compounds, is commoner than the literature suggests. A review of the chemistry of polyurethanes is followed by the author's observations of 12 cases caused by 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate, 4 by isophorone diisocyanate, 3 by tolylene diisocyanate and 1 by triphenylmethane triisocyanate. Results of skin tests with standard and special test allergens are tabulated. It is pointed out that contact with polyurethanes during testing is not without danger in itself. The findings suggest group allergy between diphenylmethane diisocyanate and the corresponding aromatic diamine, diaminodiphenylmethane.
