In Salvador, Brazil, 536 patients were patch tested with 24 contact allergens. The most common sensitizers included potassium dichromate, thimerosal, hydroquinone, nitrofurazone ointment and nickel sulfate. The results of this South American study are compared with those published by North American and European dermatologists. Low frequencies of positive reactions were encountered in Salvador to some substances, including mercury bichloride and p-phenylenediamine. The influences of climate and life style in determining patterns of contact sensitivity are discussed.
在巴西萨尔瓦多，536名患者接受了24种接触性变应原的斑贴试验。最常见的致敏原包括重铬酸钾、硫柳汞、对苯二酚、呋喃西林软膏和硫酸镍。这项南美研究的结果与北美和欧洲皮肤科医生发表的结果进行了比较。在萨尔瓦多，某些物质（包括二氯化汞和对苯二胺）的阳性反应频率较低。讨论了气候和生活方式对接触敏感性模式的影响。
