[Studying the changes of the related serum complement immune indexes in patients with occupational medicamentosa-like dermatitis induced by trichloroethylene and workers occupationally exposed to trichloroethylene].

Objective: To explore the mechanism of occupational medicamentosa-like dermatitis (OMDT) induced by trichloroethylene (TCE) and some immunity indexes in workers occupationally exposed to TCE.

Methods: The blood samples from 8 cases with medicamentosa-like dermatitis in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th weeks after admitting to hospital were examined for liver function, immunoglobulin and some complement indexes. Thirty nine workers occupationally exposed to TCE were investigated for urinary TCE and some immuno-complement indexes.
