The value of patch testing with plants "as is" in diagnosing plant sensitization.

Contact Dermatitis

December 2024

Department of Dermatology and Allergy Centre, Odense University Hospital, University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark.

Patients/materials/methods: Consecutive eczema patients, who were patch tested between January 2019 and December 2023 and who had at least one positive reaction to a plant allergen and/or extract and/or plant "as is" were included in the study.
