A case of allergic contact dermatitis to the rubber additive material ethylene thiourea (ETU) is presented. Testing for cross-sensitivity gave a positive reaction to the fungicide Maneb, manganous ethylenebisdithiocarbamate, but this reaction was probably due to ETU which was detected in Maneb by thin-layer chromatography. Different sources of ETU are reported.

Three cases of contact dermatitis caused by Maneb, manganous-ethylene-bis (dithiocarbamate), are described. Maneb is used as an agricultural fungicide, and is also used in spraying solutions in horticulture and in flower shops. Patch testing with Maneb-related compounds revealed no regular pattern of cross sensitization.
