Abstrakt: An outbreak of occupational dermatitis in a rubber tyre factory is reported. An unusual clinical picture was recognized. Patch tests revealed a high sensitization rate to the MBT derivative used: 2-(2-4 dinitrophenylthio)benzothiazole. Since tests with MBT mix and dinitrophenol were negative sensitization to a contaminant was suspected. DNCB was traced as the substance responsible. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
