occupational testing test patchAbstract
Allergic contact dermatitis is one of the most frequent occupational skin diseases.
Targeted allergen avoidance can only be achieved by identification of the causative allergen.
Therefore, patch testing is of utmost importance in occupational dermatology, not only in terms of assessing causal relationships but also regarding the implementation of prevention measures and evaluation of the legal criteria for an occupational skin disease in Germany (statutory occupational disease BK 5101).
The lack of commercial patch test preparations poses a great diagnostic challenge.
Patch testing of patient’s own materials from their workplace is therefore very important to reduce diagnostic gaps.
The performance and documentation of the patch test should be in line with current guidelines and recommendations to ensure the necessary test quality and comprehensibility of the test results.
