    Author: Cronin E, Hannuksela M, Lachapelle JM, Maibach HI, Malten K, Meneghini CL.
    Journal: Contact Dermatitis; 1988 May; 18(5):274-9. PubMed ID: 2970933.
    Abstract:
    The incidences of sensitisation to Kathon CG are reported for patients routinely tested from 1984 to 1986 in Bari, London, Louvain, Nijmegen, Oulu and San Francisco. For these 3 years, the overall frequency of sensitisation varied for women from 3.3% in Oulu to 0.6% in London and San Francisco and for men from 1.4% in Oulu to 0% in San Francisco. Women were predominantly sensitised, probably by cosmetics, toiletries and domestic cleaners. Occupational sensitisation was much less frequent.
