Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: sensitizing
Conclusions:
2 of the 1092 patients tested showed allergic reactions to test chemical. Patch test reactions to test chemical were difficult to interpret, owing to extremely common irritant reactions.Based on this observation, the test chemical can be considered to be a potentially weak skin sensitizer.
Executive summary:

The aim of the study was to describe patients with positive patch test reactions to test chemical-related compounds in an occupational dermatology clinic between 2002 -2009. The test chemical was tested 1% in distilled water. 1092 patients were patch tested with Finn Chambers® according to the recommendations of the International Contact Dermatitis Research Group. The dermal reactions were read two or three times: on D2/D3/D4 or D2/D3/D6 or D2/D5, depending on the day of application. The patch test reactions were rated +/++/+++. 2 of the 1092 patients tested showed allergic reactions to test chemical. Patch test reactions to test chemical were difficult to interpret, owing to extremely common irritant reactions. Based on this observation, the test chemical can be considered to be a potentially weak skin sensitizer.
