Abstract
R A, aged 19. Schoolboy History: He spilt about 10 ml of 1-bromo-2, 4 dinitrobenzene in ethanol on his right forearm during a routine school chemistry experiment. This was washed off immediately but ten days later he developed intense erythema, edema and blistering in a linear distribution on his right arm (Fig 1). Over the next few days he developed similar lesions on palm of right hand and in finger webs of both hands. He was not aware of having come in contact with the sensitizing substance on his left hand. He improved with symptomatic therapy.
