| Resumen |
Report of the follow-up of 2 cases of leucodermia (vitiligo) following exposure to hydroquinone monomethyl ether (HMME) described 8 years previously (CIS 72-1742, Darz Dedh Mhf Xkz Daht) and survey of 169 men exposed to HMME or paratertiary-amyl-phenol (PTAP) or both. In the follow-up, repigmentation of a significant degree was found in one man and of a limited degree in the other. Screening by means of the Wood's light technique (an ultra-violet light which is absorbed by normally pigmented skin and reflected by non-pigmented skin) of the 169 men surveyed in the same plant revealed no cases of leucoderma in the 148 men exposed to HMME or in the 129 men exposed to PTAP. Loss of light reflection on Wood's light examination was observed in 13 men due to scars or to other skin disorders. |
