CONTACT DERMATITIS FROM ALPHA-BROMOMETHYLPARATOLYLSULFONE

Contact dermatitis from alpha-bromomethylparatolylsulfone was described in a case report of a 23 year old male chemistry student who handled the chemical in his laboratory work. Clinical symptoms included multiple pinhead vesicles on the sides of the fingers, a sharply bordered erythematous slightly scaly plaque on the palm and dorsum of the hands and a sharply bordered eruption strewn with small vesicles on the lower lip and cheeks. Patch tests were positive only for alpha-bromomethylparatolylsulfone. The patient was advised to avoid contact with this compound and has remained symptom free.

Contact Dermatitis, 33(2):139, 1995.
