Abstract
|
|
|
Paraquat(Gramoxone(r)) is the most commonly used herbicide in KOREA. But serious paraquat poisoning in human beings has occurred following ingestion or exposure to the skin. Exposure to paraquat thr5ough the skin has resulted in local irritation
or
inflammation of varying degree, sometimes severe.
We report three cases of primary irritant dermatitis due to paraquat. Two patients developed generalized vesicobullae and necrotic ulcer in the scrotum, respectively. The other patient developed painful whitish patch and erosion in the tongue
after
accidental exposure.
