A case of multiple sensitization to three halogeno-substituted mono-nitrobenzenes.
A case of occupational contact dermatitis in a female chemical pharmaceutical laboratory researcher is described. The allergological investigation revealed a state of sensitization to three mono-nitrobenzenes with halogen substitutions in the nucleus or a side chain. Problems related to sensitization to these substances and to possible cross-allergy with DNCB are discussed.
