[Clinical experience with benzene sulfonyl chloride (author's transl)]

The clinical development of a percutaneous benzene sulfonyl chloride absorption, which can also occur on the mucous membrane, has a biological effect on the skin and results in reversible toxic damage to the liver; three such cases are described. Two patients experienced very severe shock which was brought under control after 1 to 1.5 hrs. A possible allergic genesis reaction of an immediate type is discussed.
