  • Title: Merthiolate testing in twins.
    Author: Holst R, Möller H.
    Journal: Contact Dermatitis; 1975 Dec; 1(6):370-2. PubMed ID: 1242006.
    Abstract:
    Positive and negative patch tests to merthiolate occur with the same frequency in monozygotic and dizygotic twin pairs. There is no correlation to strong or weak reactions to primary irritants. Consequently, the positive merthiolate reactions should be considered allergic rather than irritant.
