Abstract
|
|
|
Melamine-formaldehyde resin is widely used in manufacturing plastics, tableware, textile and paper finishing, laminates, electrical insulations, and adhesives throughout the world. Allergic contact dermatitis to this resin has rarely been
reported
worldwide and has not been reported in Korean literature.
We report a case of occupational allergic contact dermatitis to melamine-formaldehyde resin in a 38-year-old man. He had been working for a month in a textile factory when pruritic multiple erythematous patches and plaques developed on the face,
both
forearms and dorsa of the hands. In the factory melamine-formaldehyde resin was used for crease-resistant finishing. A Patch test revealed a positive reaction to melamine-formaldehyde resin. (Kor J Dermatol 1997 ; 35(2) : 369∼373)
