The prevalence of contact allergy to specific allergens differs among countries, as a result of social and environmental characteristics. Patch testing is the gold standard in the diagnosis of contact dermatitis to identify the culprit substance.
TRUE Test® is a ready-to-use patch test system commercialized since 1985, and is used worldwide. As TRUE Test® does not cover several allergens recommended for the (European) baseline series, clinicians have to test additional allergens separately. Recently, TRUE Test® added five new allergens.
The newly included allergens are gold sodium thiosulfate, bacitracin, parthenolide, Disperse Blue 106, and 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol (bronopol). The aim of our study was to evaluate the relevance of these new allergens as a part of our baseline series.
