Abstract
- Glufosinate ammonium herbicide is a nonselective herbicide used worldwide because it is less toxic than paraquat. Acute glufosinate ammonium intoxications manifest as injuries of the intestinal mucosa, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, convulsions, respiratory distress, and death resulting from human abuse. We present a case of irritant contact dermatitis on the back caused by accidental exposure to glufosinate ammonium and followed by erythema multiforme-like eruptions without systemic intoxication, which has not been documented previously in Korea.
