Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Allergology
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Patch testing is crucial for diagnosing allergic contact dermatitis.
  • Standard allergens are used to identify common sensitizers.
  • Long-term data provides insights into evolving allergy trends.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze 10-year trends in patch test sensitivities to standard allergens.
  • To investigate sex and age-related differences in metal allergies.
  • To report changes in nickel and chromate sensitivity.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 10 years of patch testing data.
  • Inclusion of standard allergens, focusing on nickel and chromate.
  • Statistical analysis of allergy incidence based on sex and age.

Main Results:

  • A significant increase in nickel sensitivity was observed over the 10-year period.
  • A decrease in chromate sensitivity was noted.
  • Nickel allergy was more prevalent in women and younger individuals.

Conclusions:

  • Nickel allergy is a growing concern, especially among young women.
  • Chromate allergy prevalence is declining.
  • Monitoring trends in metal allergies is essential for public health and clinical practice.
