Background: A patch test with an allergen mix used as screening test should be highly sensitive so that allergic patients are not missed. A previous analysis based on patch test data from 1990 to 1993 has shown that the mercapto mix lacked sensitivity. Chemical analyses on the stability of the mix components led to a new composition of the mix in 1995. Methods: The authors analyzed retrospectively patch test data from the Information Network of Departments of Dermatology to evaluate the sensitivity of the newly formulated mercapto mix and mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) for detecting contact allergies to the 3 MBT derivatives contained in the present mix. Results: The new mercapto mix had a sensitivity of only 0.60, whereas MBT had a significantly higher sensitivity of 0.69. However, even this means that more than 30% of the patients allergic to MBT derivatives are missed. The combination of MBT and mercapto mix had a sensitivity of 0.77 for detecting contact allergies to the MBT derivatives. Conclusion: The German Contact Dermatitis Research Group decided to test both mercapto mix and MBT within the standard series, and to apply the 3 single components of the mix in case of a positive reaction to the mix or MBT.

Background: There long has been debate over the role of the dust mite antigen Dermatophagoides in provoking or perpetuating atopic and other forms of dermatitis, particularly airborne contact dermatitis. Reactivity to Dermatophagoides has been measured by specific IgE and by immediate-type responses to prick test challenge. More recently, patch testing has been advocated as a means of determining reactivity to Dermatophagoides.Objective: To determine patch test reactivity to a Dermatophagoides mix in a population receiving patch testing. Methods: A commercially available mix of 2 species of Dermatophagoides, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and Dermatophagoides farinae, recently became available. The authors chose the lower available concentration of this mix (20%) and added it to their standard patch testing tray between December 1999 and January 2001. Results were interpreted in the standard manner. Results: A total of 662 patients received patch testing to Dermatophagoides (men 32%, women, 68%). Mean age was 53.4 years (range, 37 to 94). The Dermatophagoides mix was the most common allergen in the standard tray to evoke a reaction. At 96 hours, positive reactions were noted in 55% of patients. The reactions were interpreted as irritant in 16.2%, relevant in 6.7%, of questionable relevancy in 30.5%, and of no relevancy in 32.6%. The majority of reactions were of the [ldquo ]crescendo[rdquo ] pattern. Conclusion: The currently available formulation of Dermatophagoides mix, even at its lower concentration, led to a high rate of reactivity with a low rate of relevance.
