Results and discussion

Results of examinations:
The worker developed pruritic erythematous paches on his wrist after an initial exposure to the Ethyl Ethoxymethylene Cyanoacetate (EEMC). Subsequent exposure to vapor resulted in localized eczematous patches, generalized erythematous maculopapules, vesicles and erythema multiforme like eruptions on the face, neck and extremities.
Upon hospital admission, digital numbness, cold, clammy fingers, and hand tremor were seen. The patient was treated with systemic corticosteroids and antihistamines. A positive reaction to EEMC on patch tests was seen, and the examination of blood and urine specimens using high performance liquid chromatography demonstrated the presence of EEMC.
Virtually all of the symptoms resolved when the patient was transferred from the EEMC production line.
