Occupational airborne allergic contact dermatitis from dibutylthiourea.
Allergic contact dermatitis from thioureas is uncommon but may result from exposure to rubber, especially neoprene. To (1) describe the population with positive patch-test reactions to mixed dialkyl thioureas (MDTU) (ie, diethylthiourea and dibutylthiourea); (2) determine clinical and occupational relevance
