Allergic contact dermatitis to isothiazolinones in a rubber factory: A case report

Abstract

Abstract Isothiazolinones, used as preservative, are known to be skin sensitizers. Although cosmetics represent their main source, occupational exposure may be a significant origin of eczema. While allergic eczema related to these derivates have been reported in a number of professional sectors, their presence in the same workplace was not common.
