Patch testing with the Japanese baseline series 2015: a four-year experience. Contact Dermatitis 2021; 86:189-195. [PMID: 34921568 DOI: 10.1111/cod.14027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2021] [Revised: 12/09/2021] [Accepted: 12/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The Japanese baseline series (JBS), established in 1994, was updated in 2008 and in 2015. The JBS 2015 is a modification of the Thin-layer Rapid Use Epicutaneous (TRUE) test (SmartPractice Denmark, Hillerød, Denmark). No nationwide studies concerning the TRUE test have previously been reported. OBJECTIVES To determine the prevalence of sensitizations to JBS 2015 allergens from 2015 to 2018. METHODS We investigated JBS 2015 patch test results using the web-registered Skin Safety Case Information-Net (SSCI-Net) from April 2015 to March 2019. RESULTS Patch test results of 5865 patients were registered from 63 facilities. The five allergens with the highest positivity rates were gold sodium thiosulfate (GST, 25.7%), nickel sulfate (24.5%), urushiol (9.1%), p-phenylene diamine (PPD, 8.9%) and cobalt chloride (8.4%). The five allergens with the lowest positivity rates were mercaptobenzothiazole (0.8%), formaldehyde (0.9%), paraben mix (1.1%), mercapto mix (1.1%), and PPD black rubber mix (1.4%). CONCLUSIONS Nickel sulfate and GST had the highest positivity rates. The JBS 2015, including a modified TRUE test, is suitable for baseline series patch testing.

Lagrelius M, Wahlgren CF, Matura M, Kull I, Lidén C. High prevalence of contact allergy in adolescence: results from the population-based BAMSE birth cohort. Contact Dermatitis 2015; 74:44-51. [PMID: 26538115 DOI: 10.1111/cod.12492] [Citation(s) in RCA: 50] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2015] [Revised: 09/02/2015] [Accepted: 09/21/2015] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Contact allergy is common among adults. However, little is known about the prevalence in adolescents. OBJECTIVES To assess the prevalence of allergy to common contact allergens in Swedish adolescents in the general population. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS The BAMSE cohort is a population-based birth cohort with the main aim of studying the risk factors for asthma, rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis. Patch testing was performed at the 16-year follow-up. The test (TRUE Test(®) ) was applied at home, and removed 2 days later by nurses, who recorded and photographed the results. Dermatologists made final assessments on the basis of photographs and protocols. RESULTS Two thousand two hundred and eighty-five participants (88% of all 16-year follow-up participants) were patch tested; 15.3% had at least one positive reaction. Contact allergy was more common in girls than in boys (17.0% versus 13.4%, p = 0.018). Sensitization to nickel was most common (7.5%), followed by sensitization to fragrance mix I (2.1%) and p-tert-butylphenol formaldehyde resin (1.9%). Nickel allergy was more frequent in girls (9.8% versus 4.9%, p < 0.001). Solitary sensitization to cobalt was more common than co-sensitization to nickel and cobalt. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of contact allergy in adolescents is of almost the same high magnitude as in adults. The applied method was feasible in the population-based setting.
