ABSTRACT
During the 16-month period from June 1993 to December 1994, 100 patients, Saudi nationals with suspected allergic contact dermatitis, were patch tested. True Test[TM], containing a routine series of 24 test substances, was used at the dermatology clinics in the Military Hospitals in Khamis Mushayt, Saudi Arabia. The results showed that 30% of the patients with suspected allergic contact dermatitis were sensitive to one or more chemical substances used in the patch test. Nickel was the most common allergen in female patients [17.3%] and chromium was the most common in male patients [10.4%]
