| Abstract: | A case of allergic contact dermatitis to the rubber additive material ethylene thiourea (ETU) is presented. Testing for cross-sensitivity gave a positive reaction to the fungicide Maneb®, manganous ethytenebisdithiocarbamte, but this reaction was probably due to ETU which was detected in Maneb® by thin-layer chromatography. Different sources of ETU arc reported. |
