Multicenter retrospective study reveals higher contact sensitization rates in females and non-atopic youth, highlighting emerging culprits like acrylates.

Key Points

Analyze pediatric patch test outcomes, sensitization patterns, and emerging allergens over a 10-year period across multiple tertiary care centers.
Conducted a multicenter retrospective review of patch test results for 357 children aged 0–18 years between 2012 and 2022 across 4 tertiary medical centers in Israel.
Administered the European baseline series alongside supplementary allergen series as clinically indicated, assessing atopic history and demographic variables.
Females constituted 69% of the cohort and showed significantly higher rates of sensitization compared to males (P < 0.05).
Patients without atopic dermatitis were more frequently diagnosed with allergic contact dermatitis and developed more positive patch test reactions (P < 0.05).
Preservatives and metals were the most frequent sensitizers, with methylisothiazolinone causing contact dermatitis more often in non-atopic patients (P < 0.05), alongside rising sensitization to acrylates.
