Abstract
- Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a chlorinated hydrocarbon that is widely used as a degreasing agent in industry. Systemic absorption of this chemical can result in neurological, hepatic and cutaneous toxicity. Several cutaneous manifestations of TCE-exposed patients have been reported, including Stevens Johnson syndrome, subcorneal pustular eruption and generalized pustular eruption. We report here on an unusual case of TCE hypersensitivity syndrome in a 38 year old man after occupational exposure to TCE.
