Abstract

Tear gas is used throughout the World for control of riots and civil disobedience. CS gas as used by the UK police force is issued as a 'spray' and is 5% CS in methylisobutylketone (MIBK), a potent irritant. Assaults on police officers in forces issued with CS spray have fallen significantly over the past 3 years, whilst having risen in areas without it. Thus, CS gas appears to be an effective deterrent. However, significant cutaneous reactions can occur as a result of exposure. We report a severe contact dermatitis to CS gas to highlight the clinical features. The nature of CS gas and potential cutaneous adverse reactions are discussed.

摘要

催泪瓦斯在世界各地被用于控制骚乱和公民抗命行为。英国警方使用的CS气体以“喷雾”形式发放，是5%的CS溶于甲基异丁基酮（MIBK）中，甲基异丁基酮是一种强效刺激物。在过去3年里，配备CS喷雾的警察部队遭受袭击的情况显著下降，而在没有配备CS喷雾的地区，此类袭击事件却有所增加。因此，CS气体似乎是一种有效的威慑手段。然而，接触CS气体可能会引发严重的皮肤反应。我们报告一例因CS气体导致的严重接触性皮炎，以突出其临床特征。本文还讨论了CS气体的性质及潜在的皮肤不良反应。
