English to Spanish: Introduction: a history of MI General field: Medical Detailed field: Biology (-tech,-chem,micro-)
Source text - English Allergy to the group of preservatives known as isothiazolinones first emerged as an occupational disease in the early eighties.
The most well-known isothiazolinone preservative nowadays is methylisothiazolinone (MI), but those first reports involved lesser-known relatives of methylisothiazolinone — for instance, benzisothiazolinone (BIT) allergy in a laborer in a rubber factory, and octylisothiazolinone (OIT) allergy among shoe factory workers.
Three further case reports were published in the journal Contact Dermatitis in February 1985. Very unluckily, one of the three individuals was said to have been sensitized to isothiazolinones via a patch test. The allergies of the other two were caused by exposure to a moisturizing cream containing both MI and another isothiazolinone, called methylchloroisothiazolinone (MCI). A mix of MI / MCI in a ratio of roughly 1:3, known by the trade name Kathon CG, had been used in European cosmetics since the mid-seventies, and in the US since the early eighties, and these cases appear to have been the first non-occupational ones reported.
Translation - Spanish La alergia al grupo de conservantes conocidos como isotiazolinonas, surgió por primera vez como una enfermedad profesional a principios de los años ochenta.
El conservante de isotiazolinona más conocido hoy en día es la metilisotiazolinona (MI), pero esos primeros informes implicaban a «parientes» menos conocidos de la metilisotiazolinona, como la alergia a la benzotiazolinona (BIT por sus siglas en inglés) en un trabajador de una fábrica de caucho, y la alergia a la octilisotiazolinona (OIT por sus siglas en inglés) entre los trabajadores de una fábrica de calzado.
En febrero de 1985 se publicaron otros tres informes de casos similares en la revista especializada «Contact Dermatitis». Desafortunadamente, se dijo que uno de los tres individuos afectados había sido sensibilizado a las isotiazolinonas a través de un parche de prueba. Las alergias de los otros dos pacientes fueron provocadas por la exposición a una crema hidratante que contenía MI y otra isotiazolinona, llamada metilcloroisotiazolinona (MCI por sus siglas en inglés). Una mezcla de MI / MCI en una proporción de aproximadamente 1:3, conocida por el nombre comercial Kathon CG, se ha utilizado en los cosméticos europeos desde mediados de los años setenta, y en los EE. UU. desde principios de los ochenta, y estos parecen haber sido los primeros casos registrados de carácter no ocupacional.
