Allergic contact dermatitis is a challenging diagnostic problem in children. Although epicutaneous patch testing is the diagnostic standard for confirmation of contact sensitization, it is less used in children by dermatologists treating children, pediatric dermatologists, and pediatricians, when compared with adult practitioners.
The aim of the study was to create and evaluate standardization of a pediatric patch test series for children older than 6 years.
We surveyed dermatologists and allergists conducting epicutaneous patch testing in children attending the 2017 American Contact Dermatitis Society meeting held in Washington, DC. This was followed by discussion of collected data and consensus review by a pediatric contact dermatitis working group at the conference.
A baseline pediatric patch test panel was established through working group consensus.
变应性接触性皮炎是儿童面临的一个具有挑战性的诊断问题。虽然斑贴试验是确认接触致敏的诊断标准，但与治疗成人的皮肤科医生、儿童皮肤科医生和儿科医生相比，治疗儿童的皮肤科医生、儿童皮肤科医生和儿科医生较少使用。
本研究的目的是为 6 岁以上儿童创建和评估儿童斑贴测试系列的标准化。
我们调查了在华盛顿特区举行的 2017 年美国接触性皮炎学会会议上接受斑贴试验的儿童的皮肤科医生和过敏科医生。随后，在会议上通过讨论收集到的数据和由儿童接触性皮炎工作组进行的共识审查。
通过工作组的共识，建立了一个基线儿童斑贴测试面板。
