[Cutaneous allergy to epichlorhydrine (author's transl)]. / L'allergie cutanée a l'épichlorhydrine.

ABSTRACT

Allergies due to epichlorhydrin are seen more and more frequently. This product, which has several uses, is one of the essential components in epoxy resins. The follow-up of six cases has enabled us to determine the optimal concentration to be used in epichlorhydrin epicutaneous tests. Since this product is frequently encountered, it ought to be integrated among the other samples in current skin tests.
