Xylene exposure caused contact urticaria in a histotechnician. Using xylene-resistant gloves resolved her dermatitis, allowing her to continue working safely.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Dermatology
  • Toxicology

Background:

  • Xylene is a common solvent in medical technology, raising safety concerns.
  • Histotechnicians face potential exposure during laboratory procedures.

Observation:

  • A 52-year-old female histotechnician presented with symptoms of burning and swollen hands.
  • Clinical presentation suggested contact dermatitis.
  • Patch testing and workplace assessment confirmed xylene exposure and sensitivity.

Findings:

  • The patient was diagnosed with contact urticaria due to xylene.
  • Implementing xylene-resistant gloves led to complete resolution of her dermatitis.

Implications:

  • Early diagnosis and appropriate protective measures are crucial for managing occupational contact urticaria.
