A 10-year study found that 37.1% of children patch tested had allergic reactions. Nickel and rubber compounds were the most common allergens in pediatric patients.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Dermatology
  • Allergology

Background:

  • Allergic contact dermatitis is a significant health concern in children.
  • Identifying common allergens is crucial for effective management and prevention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the prevalence and types of allergens causing positive patch test reactions in children.
  • To determine the relevance of identified allergens in pediatric cases.

Main Methods:

  • Patch testing was conducted on 272 children aged 14 years and under.
  • Data collected over a 10-year period (1982-1991) were analyzed.
  • Positive reactions were assessed for clinical relevance.

Main Results:

  • 101 out of 272 children (37.1%) exhibited positive patch test reactions.

  • Relevant allergic reactions were observed in 54.4% (57/101) of those with positive tests.
  • The most frequent allergens identified were nickel, rubber compounds, mercuric chloride, cobalt salts, thimerosal, benzoyl peroxide, and fragrance mix.

    • Conclusions:

    • Nickel and rubber compounds are the leading causes of allergic contact dermatitis in children.
    • Routine patch testing is valuable for diagnosing relevant allergens in pediatric populations.
    • Awareness of common pediatric allergens can guide preventative strategies.
