Severe acute hepatitis in a printing company

چکیده
The toxicities of various chemicals, including organic solvents, have been reported, and methods for protection and occupational exposure limits have been established. Most organic solvents are mainly absorbed into the body via inhalation, ingestion, and the skin, and they often directly affect the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. Absorbed organic solvents are toxic to the nervous system, liver, kidney, and heart . Hepatic damage after exposure to certain organic solvents has been described. Here, we report a case of severe acute hepatitis in a printing company worker who was exposed to various chemicals, including organic solvents such as 1,2-dichloropropane (DCP), dichloromethane (DCM), and trichloroethylene (TCE). This study was performed according to the Declaration of Helsinki (2008), and the patient provided written informed consent.
