Out of 545 consecutive contact dermatitis clinic patients, 73 (13%) had dermatitis of the neck of whom 18 (25%) were nickel positive. 7 had clothing dermatitis and 3 of them reacted to chromate in military uniforms. 5 patients were sensitised to perfume and 4 to medicaments used to treat existing dermatitis. 3 patients were sensitised to hair dyes. Nickel dermatitis, was clinically overdiagnosed, mainly due (for various reasons) to inability to make a firm diagnosis of atopy.
在连续就诊的545例接触性皮炎患者中，73例（13%）患有颈部皮炎，其中18例（25%）镍检测呈阳性。7例患有衣物性皮炎，其中3例对军装中的铬酸盐有反应。5例患者对香水过敏，4例对用于治疗现有皮炎的药物过敏。3例患者对染发剂过敏。镍皮炎在临床上存在过度诊断的情况，主要（由于各种原因）是因为无法明确诊断特应性。
