Abstract

Authors have performed patch test to evaluate the differences between the allergic contact dermatitis to topical medicaments and to the other substances including cosmetics. One hundred eighteen patients were evaluated according to age, sex, and causative agents of the disease. Furthermore, these patients were analysed as to the causative allergic contact factors by clinical inspection and history. The most common causative allergic contact factors by clinical, history and patch test were topical medicarnents(45.8%), cosmetics(24. 6%), rubbery(10.2%), and metals(8.59%.). The common etiogloic medicaments of contact dermatitis were Madecassol, Betadin, Tiger balm, Canesten, Mercurochrom, and Tego solution. The causative agents were confirmed by the patch test with Hollister-Stiers standard allergens in 57 patients from Jan. 1983 to Dec. 1984, 1 hirty eight among 57 patients were positive to patch test, Back ground possible explanation of the patch test results were discussed and a comparison was made between this report and others.
