Patch testing with standard series and/or additional series allows the identification of the substances responsible for allergic contact dermatitis in 40-50% of patients. This percentage can be increased by performing patch tests with materials supplied by the patient as such or treated in various ways. The method is not without difficulties and it is possible to observe falsely positive or negative reactions, and the ability to induce new sensitizations. It's necessary to standardize as much as possible the method of the test.

Abstract

Patch testing with standard series and/or additional series allows the identification of the substances responsible for allergic contact dermatitis in 40-50% of patients. This percentage can be increased by performing patch tests with materials supplied by the patient as such or treated in various ways. The method is not without difficulties and it is possible to observe falsely positive or negative reactions, and the ability to induce new sensitizations. It's necessary to standardize as much as possible the method of the test.
