Airborne contact dermatitis from n-alkyl dimethylbenzylammonium chloride and n-alkyl dimethylethyl-benzylammonium chloride in a detergent.
Occupational airborne contact dermatitis from disinfectants are not frequent. They are usually seen in hospitals, were the exposure is more common. We report a case of a young woman, with an intense eczematous eruption that developed hours after an accidental contact with a cleaning solution.
