Abstract
Sensitization lo epichlorohydrin (ECH) is reported in 6 patients with occupational contact allergy. In 2 cases, an isolated positive test to ECH was found. In the remaining 4 cases, concomitant positive reactions were seen to “ICDRG epoxy resin” (MW385) and to liquid epoxy resin (MW 370). Allergy to bisphenol A was not seen in the patients. 5 patients worked in an epoxy rosin plant. Adequate preventive measure to avoid skin contact with ECH are required to prevent ECH sensitization becoming a more serious industrial hazard.Keywords
