Development of a Generic Analysis Method for Isothiazolinones in Consumer Products Prompted by Increased Sensitisation to Benzisothiazolinone. [PDF]
An analysis method using simple instrumentation was developed to investigate isothiazolinones in cosmetic and household products in patch test investigations. Analysis showed that concentrations of benzisothiazolinone can be several orders of magnitude higher than those of chloromethylisothiazolinone/methylisothiazolinone in products to which skin ...

Epidemiological, Clinical and Allergic Profile of Patients With Dyshidrotic Eczema (Acute and Recurrent Vesicular Dermatitis): Evaluation of the Spanish Registry of Research in Contact Dermatitis and Cutaneous Allergy (REIDAC). [PDF]
In this exploratory analysis, dyshidrotic eczema demonstrated a distinct sensitisation pattern compared with non‐dyshidrotic hand eczema. The lower proportion of clinically relevant reactions amongst positive patch tests suggests a multi‐factorial and not exclusively allergic background.
