Abstract
272 children up to the age of 14 years were patch tested during a 10-y ear period (1982-1991). 101 children (37.1%) gave positive reactions t o 1 or more allergens. Of these, 54.4% (57/101), were considered relev ant. The main allergens were, in order of frequency: nickel, rubber co mpounds, mercuric chloride, cobalt salts, thimerosal, benzoyl peroxide and fragrance mix.
