摘要
The prevalence of nickel sensitivity in 415 young adults was examined by patch testing with nickel sulphate 5% in pet. Before testing the persons filled in a questionnaire about personal or family history of atopy and skin reactions after metal contacts. Nickel sensitivity was found in 2.8% of males and 9.8% of females; 13 mil of 28 persons with a history of metal contact dermatitis had negative patch test reactions to nickel eight out of 23 persons with positive patch test reactions to nickel had never experienced skin reactions from metal contacts. These findings indicate that nickel sensitivity cannot be reliably predicted from pretest historical information. Copyright © 1979, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
