To patch or not to patch: What is your threshold for patch testing?
American Journal of Contact Dermatitis, 1999Patch testing is as much art as it is science; we all are influenced by our clinical experience as well as by the literature. In an effort to assist those new to this often underutilized technique, we have solicited comments from five experienced clinicians about when to patch test and when not to patch test.

Patch testing is an invaluable diagnostic tool in the evaluation of allergic contact dermatitis. While TrueTest has simplified the technique for many practitioners, there remains potential for error. We asked 4 experts to describe their approach to several dilemmas encountered in patch testing.

Contact Dermatitis, 1996
92 children (45 girls, 47 boys), mean age 9.3 years (3‐14.75), were referred to the Contact Dermatitis Investigation Unit, Belvidere Hospital, Glasgow, for patch testing during the period 1979–93 for the investigation of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). The diagnoses at the time of referral were atopic dermatitis (45).

Expert Review of Dermatology, 2010
Allergic contact dermatitis is a common skin disease affecting both genders and individuals of any age. The patch test is the only useful in vivo method for the etiological diagnosis of allergic contact dermatitis. It is an apparently simple technique, but pitfalls may be encountered.

Summary We tried to simulate the Vollmer patch test in the field of coccidioidomycosis with a patch test made with coccidioidin material. Out of 120 subjects tested with the filter paper method similar to that of Vollmer's, twenty-seven positive patch tests were noted, or 22.5 per cent. With the ointment method, four positive patches out of 100 known

The reproducibility of patch tests
British Journal of Dermatology, 1999There is conflicting evidence regarding the reproducibility of patch testing. Discordant results have been reported in up to 44% of cases. The clinical relevance of these discordant patch tests has not been previously assessed. We studied 383 consecutive patients receiving simultaneous duplicate patch testing on opposite sides of the upper back with 10

Prognostic patch testing: The other kind of patch test
American Journal of Contact Dermatitis, 1998Prognostic patch testing differs from diagnostic patch testing. Clinicians routinely perform diagnostic patch testing, but prognotic patch testing is the province of corporate research and development departments and, in the United States, contract laboratories.

The patch test is a necessary tool to evaluate contact dermatitis and other pruritic dermatoses. To obtain accurate test results, however, high-quality test material must be used, the application technique must be correct, and the results must be evaluated with skill and criticism.
