Dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) is a chemical used in color photography processing. Dinitrochlorobenzene has been successfully used to treat warts. It requires follow-up applications that might be done either in the office by the doctor or a nurse, or at home by the patient. The therapy was working immunologically to enable the body to recognize the foreign virus. The cure is associated with normalization of the cell-mediated immune response. Some researchers and community activists proposed that when DNCB is applied to the skin once a week, it stimulates the immune system to control HIV replication and delay opportunistic infections. Some research shows that DNCB leads to increases in CD8 (T-killer or T-8) cells. Dinitrochlorobenzene is not approved by the FDA, and is considered experimental. There are possible drawbacks to this treatment. The autoeczematization is not rare. Dinitrochlorobenzene is used to induce experimental dermatitis in rats. It is a potent contact allergen.
