BACKGROUND: @entity72153 ( @entity72153 ) is an @entity9308 @entity990 resin used in, for example, resin systems of pre-impregnated composite materials (prepregs) of the aircraft industry. @entity3408 caused by @entity72153 in prepregs has been described previously. OBJECTIVES: To report on 9 @entity1 with @entity3408 caused by @entity72153 in @entity990 glues used in helicopter assembly. METHODS: The @entity1 were examined with patch testing at the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health in 2004-2009. The first @entity1 was diagnosed by testing both components of two @entity990 glues from the workplace, and was also tested with glue ingredients, including @entity72153 . The following @entity1 were tested with the glues and @entity72153 . The resin parts of the glues were analysed for their @entity990 compounds, including @entity72153 . RESULTS: All of the @entity1 had a patch test reaction to one or both of the resin parts of the @entity72153 -containing glues. Eight of them had a strong @entity56 to @entity72153 , and one had a doubtful reaction to @entity72153 . Two of the @entity1 also had an @entity56 to @entity72154 ( @entity72154 ), another @entity9308 @entity990 resin, which was not present in the @entity72153 -containing glues. CONCLUSIONS: In aircraft industry workers with suspected @entity3680 , @entity9308 @entity990 resins should be considered and patch tested as possible contact allergens.
