Abstract

Xylene is widely used in medical technology, but there are many concerns about its safety. A 52-year-old woman, employed as a histotechnician, presented with burning, swollen hands. Patch testing and a visit to her place of work confirmed exposure and sensitivity, in the form of contact urticaria, to xylene. The use of xylene-resistant gloves resulted in clearing of the dermatitis. Establishing the diagnosis of contact urticaria from xylene allowed the patient to be cured of her dermatitis and continue working.

摘要

二甲苯在医学技术中广泛使用，但人们对其安全性存在诸多担忧。一名52岁的女性，职业为组织技术师，出现手部灼痛、肿胀。斑贴试验以及对其工作场所的走访证实，她因接触二甲苯而出现了接触性荨麻疹形式的暴露和过敏反应。使用耐二甲苯手套后，皮炎症状消退。确诊二甲苯引起的接触性荨麻疹后，患者的皮炎得以治愈，并能够继续工作。
