Abstract
118 consecutive patients were photopatch tested with 5J UVA and 10mJ UVB. I n addition, day 7 readings were taken. Testing with UVB and performing late readings conferred no advantage. The current recommendations of the Britis h Photodermatology Group regarding photopatch testing remain the most recen t guide to photopatch test methodology.
