Results of comprehensive patch testing may be prone to referral population selection bias and may not be representative of the general dermatology population.Ĭolophony was the most common allergen. ![]() One-fourth of the patients (79/313, 25.2%) had positive patch test reactions to supplemental allergens/materials, and 54 (17.3%) of the 313 patients only had reactions to supplemental allergens/materials. The most common North American Contact Dermatitis Group screening series allergens were colophony (80.7%), balsam of Peru (3.9%), 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (2.7%), and carba mix (2.7%). Compared with other patients with final primary diagnoses of allergic contact dermatitis, patients with a medical adhesive allergy were less likely to be male (odds ratio, 0.58 95% CI, 0.45-0.77) and/or aged >40 years (odds ratio, 0.76 95% CI, 0.60-0.96). In total, 313 (0.7%) patients met the inclusion criteria.
