Epidemiological Description of an Outbreak of Dermatitis Related to Dimethylfumarate, France, 2008
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Following similar events in other European countries, some cases of dermatitis related to contact with China-imported furniture possibly treated with dimethyl(E)-butenedioate (dimethylfumarate [DMF]) were reported to the French institute for public health surveillance at the beginning of September 2008. An active multisource case collection was conducted in order to provide an epidemiological description of this outbreak. Results of this investigation show that, in France, mainly during the 4th quarter of 2008, a large number of people presented dermatological symptoms at least plausibly due to a contact with DMF-treated consumer products. The products involved were mostly shoes and sofa (94% of cases). This work offers an example of a multipartner investigation in the field of environmental health. It also shows how the results obtained contributed to decision-making and resulted in the limitation of DMF-treated products in France and in Europe.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
