ABSTRACT

The authors report a case of allergic contact dermatitis in the alimentary industry due to contact with disinfectants containing glutaraldehyde and chloroxylenol. In our study, testing these allergens over fragments of different types of gloves, showed that only nitrile latex gloves conferred protection against chloroxylenol and a partial protection against glutaraldehyde. The authors stress the importance of testing these disinfectants in the alimentary industry where care about bacterial contamination needs to be taken care of
