  • Title: Occupational allergic contact dermatitis to methyldibromoglutaronitrile in hand degreasing toilet paper.
    Author: Marcano ME, Heras F, Conde-Salazar L.
    Journal: Contact Dermatitis; 2007 Aug; 57(2):126-7. PubMed ID: 17627659.
    Abstract:
    We inform about a case of occupational allergic contact dermatitis (OACD) to methyldibromoglutaronitrile (MDBGN) in industrial hand degreasing moist toilet paper. To our knowledge, this is the first published case of OACD to MDBGN in industrial hand degreasing toilet papers. A cause-effect relationship seems to be clearly established. We believe that physicians must keep in mind that MDBGN is a strong allergen either mixed or as a single component of industrial moist toilet papers. MDBGN must be taken into account for OACD at an appropriate work environment.
