Patch testing in Austria identified contact allergies in 51% of patients using the Austrian standard series. Thiomersal, a mercury-containing substance, was a notable allergen specific to this population.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Allergology
  • Epidemiology

Context:

  • Patch testing is crucial for diagnosing contact allergies.
  • Standard patch test series require adaptation to local populations.
  • The Austrian standard patch test series was applied in 14 centers.

Purpose:

  • To analyze the efficacy and allergen prevalence of the Austrian standard patch test series.
  • To identify country-specific sensitization patterns.

Summary:

  • 11,544 patients underwent patch testing with the Austrian standard series.
  • 51% of patients showed cutaneous sensitization.
  • Thiomersal was identified as a significant Austrian-specific allergen.

Impact:
