Abstract
Dimethylformamide (DMF), a widely used and versatile industrial solvent, has been reported to cause abdominal pain and hepatic abnormalities. An accidental dermal and respiratory exposure to DMF produced severe abdominal pain, hypertension, leukocytosis, and hepatic damage in a fabric coating worker. Pain began 62 hours after DMF exposure and was associated with positive results from a Watson-Schwartz test for urine porphobilinogen.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
