A retrospective study investigates contact sensitization in adults with and without atopic dermatitis, suggesting tailored allergen testing.

To determine the prevalence of contact sensitization in adults with and without atopic dermatitis.
Retrospective analysis of 8967 adults patch-tested at a single center from 1997 to 2018.
Utilized a standard baseline series comprising 44 allergens.
Compared sensitization rates between adults with atopic dermatitis and those without.
Overall contact sensitization prevalence was 65.4% in both groups.
Adults with atopic dermatitis had higher sensitization rates to formaldehyde and certain mixes.
Non-atopic dermatitis patients had higher rates of sensitization to nickel and other allergens.

Caroppo et al. (2026) studied this question.
