[Determination of alkali resistance by skin patch testing].

    Summary

    Alkali-resistance testing for eczema patients using the Burckhardt-Locher method (ARBL) and patch-testing showed high correlation when ARBL indicated reduced resistance. Combining methods or repeating ARBL improves diagnosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Biochemistry

    Context:

    • Eczema diagnosis relies on accurate assessment of skin barrier function.
    • Alkali-resistance is a key indicator of skin barrier integrity.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the Burckhardt-Locher method (ARBL) for alkali-resistance in eczema patients.
    • To compare ARBL with traditional patch-testing for alkalis.

    Summary:

    • 298 eczema patients underwent ARBL and patch-testing.
    • High correlation was observed when ARBL indicated decreased alkali-resistance.
    • Normal ARBL results still showed reduced alkali-resistance in 42.9% of cases via patch-testing.

    Impact:

    • Suggests combining ARBL and patch-testing for a more comprehensive diagnosis.
    • Recommends considering a 24-hour ARBL re-test for improved diagnostic certainty.
    • Aims to enhance the clinical management of eczema through better diagnostic tools.
