- The study focuses on refining the diagnosis of allergic contact dermatitis in children due to increasing allergens and limited data.
- Researchers analyzed patch test records from 367 children aged 2 to 18 in Israel who were tested using the European baseline series between 2014 and 2022.
- Findings revealed that Farnesol was the most reactive compound in children, highlighting the effectiveness of extended testing for better diagnosis and potential regulatory measures.
Background: Recent years have seen significant exploration into the potential link between allergic contact dermatitis and atopic dermatitis, yielding contradictory findings.
Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis of children aged 2 to 18 who underwent patch testing at the pediatric dermatology clinic at a tertiary medical center in Israel was conducted.
Results: Overall, 367 patients were included in the study, 31.
