tlooto Summary
The case of a 48-year-old woman with intermittent eczematous skin lesions of the legs, forearms, and buttocks, who was diagnosed with allergic contact dermatitis and prescribed topical steroids, is reported.
Abstract
Over the past 5 years, 2270 patients with suspected allergic contact dermatitis were patch tested in our clinic to the European standard series of allergens. 7 patients (0.3%) showed a positive reaction(;;;,:+) to PTBP-F-R. In 3 (42.9%) of these patients, the allergen was traced to adhesives but no allergen source was determined in the remainder (57.1%). On the basis of these findings, it i~ questionable whether PTBP-F-R alone should routinely be included in the European standard senes.
