  • Title: Patch testing in allergic contact dermatitis.
    Author: Keir J, English J, Fergie N.
    Journal: J Laryngol Otol; 2009 May; 123(5):558-9. PubMed ID: 19138454.
    Abstract:
    A deterioration in chronic inflammatory ear disease despite topical medication, or failure of the condition to improve with such treatment, should raise the possibility of allergic contact dermatitis. Allergen testing (patch testing) is the 'gold standard' method of identifying an agent causing allergic contact dermatitis. We describe an ENT patch test series applied by our department as a screening device for this condition.
