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.
