Our aim was to evaluate the usefulness of TROLAB photopatch test series (supplemented with the plant extracts). 70 patients with dermatitis on photoexposed areas or dermatitis with photosensitivity were studied. Only 2 patients had photocontact allergy - 1 each to fragrance mix 8% and p-aminobenzoic acid 10%. Photocontact allergy to parthenium was seen in 4 and photoaggravation in 6 patients. Our results suggest that the TROLAB photopatch series are not useful for Indian patients with photodematoses.
