Background:Patch test materials are available from a limited number of sources. The physician who patch tests should have standard screening materials readily available for patient management. Conclusions:Prepackaged allergens and aqueous or petrolatum-based allergens in Finn chambers are available for routine diagnostic testing. The choice depends on the needs of the clinician. Each system offers advantages and disadvantages in patient care.
