Background: Although the traditional understanding is that contact sensitization is less frequent in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD), recent studies have shown similar or higher rates of positive patch-test results in AD patients.
Objectives: We sought to characterise the pattern of contact sensitization in patients with and without AD and evaluate the association between AD and contact sensitization.
Method: This was a single-center, 10-year retrospective review of patients who underwent patch testing between 2007 and 2017.
