Abstract:
4 employees exposed to barium and sodium selenite in the glass industry suffered from dermatitis and/or conjunctivitis. In 2 cases an irritant pathogenesis was assumed; in the other 2 cases both patients developed an allergic contact dermatitis in part with papulo-follicular morphology. Sodium selenite 0.1% in petrolatum is suitable for patch testing.
