Patch tests in 1000 cases of contact allergic dermatitis observed between 1972 and 1978 are recorded in detail, and compared in general with patch tests in a previously recorded 1000 cases of contact allergic dermatitis between 1964 adn 1972. The routine use, since 1974, of patch tests as advised by the International Contact Dermatitis Research Group has increased the detection of dermatitis caused by nickel, paraphenylene-diamine and related dyes, formaldehyde and perfumes (balsam of Peru), which indicates that aimed patch tests alone may be inadequate. The number of cases of dermatitis caused by antifungal agents and topical antihistamines decreased after Commonwealth and State legislation prohibiting their use was passed.
详细记录了1972年至1978年间观察到的1000例接触性过敏性皮炎患者的斑贴试验情况，并将其与先前记录的1964年至1972年间1000例接触性过敏性皮炎患者的斑贴试验进行了总体比较。自1974年以来，按照国际接触性皮炎研究组的建议常规使用斑贴试验，增加了对由镍、对苯二胺及相关染料、甲醛和香料（秘鲁香脂）引起的皮炎的检测，这表明仅进行针对性的斑贴试验可能并不充分。在英联邦和州立法禁止使用抗真菌剂和局部抗组胺药后，由这些药物引起的皮炎病例数有所减少。
