Sažetak
The goal of this paper is to show the results of the epicutaneous (patch) test with standard allergens at the Department of Dermatology and Venerology of General Hospital "Dr. Josip Benčević" in Slavonski Brod in the past two years. The goal is also to compare these results with the results from the Allergological Infirmary in the Department of Dermatology and Venerology in Zagreb University Hospital Center.
The results of patch testing with 20 standard allergens from General Hospital "Dr. Josip Benčević" and from the Department of Dermatology and Venerology in Zagreb University Hospital Center have been compared. In our "Dr, Josip Benčević" Hospital patients were tested during 2004 and 2005. In the Department of Dermatology and venerology in Zagreb University Hospital Center patients were tested in a five-year period.
There were 172 patients with positive test results, out of which 88 had one positive reaction, 60 had two positive reactions, and 24 had three or more positive reactions. NiSO4 (or Nickel-sulfate) was the most common cause for the positive test reaction. The same compound was also the most common cause in the Department of Dermatology and Venerology in Zagreb University Hospital Center. Statistically significant positive reactions were present in three allergens: nickel sulfate, cobalt chloride and fragrance mix.
In the two-year follow up (monitoring) frequency of epicutaneous (patch) test positive reactions on nickel sulfate, formaldehyde, Quarterinum-15 and Thimerosal is almost the same, while the frequency of positive reactions on fragrance mix, neomycin sulfate, cobalt chloride and balsam of Peru is somewhat lower.
