    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the prevalence and types of contact allergens in children.
    • To determine the most common allergens causing positive patch test reactions in pediatric patients.

    Main Methods:

    • A 5-year patch testing study was conducted on 168 children aged 14 years or younger.
    • The Standard Series of the International Contact Dermatitis Research Group (ICDRG) was used for testing.

    Main Results:

    • 77 children (45.8%) showed one or more positive patch test reactions.
