  • Title: Patch testing with hexavalent chromium salts in different vehicles and with nickel and cobalt in petrolatum.
    Author: Samsoen M, Stampf JL, Lelièvre G, Foussereau J.
    Journal: Derm Beruf Umwelt; 1982; 30(6):181-4. PubMed ID: 6218976.
    Abstract:
    In approaching the question as to which test preparations are most suitable for patch testing of metals, 25 chromium sensitive patients were tested with 0.5% potassium dichromate either in water or petrolatum. The aqueous solution proved better than the petrolatum preparation at a 48 h reading with Neodermtest Roc. No difference in sensitivity was recorded between 4 hexavalent chromium salts. 3 patients who were only sensitive to chromium solution in water also reacted positively to a 1% cobalt chloride solution and a 5% nickel sulfate solution in petrolatum.
