“…Nickel sulfate was found to be the most frequently reacting patch test allergen in this study. Similar findings were noted in other studies [4]. Because of the presence of nickel in a large variety of products it is very difficult to avoid contact with nickel and this is probably the main reason for the high incidence of nickel allergy.…”

Introduction:The patterns of positive patch test in Nepal have not been defined so far. The aim of this study was to describe the patterns of patch test reactivity in suspected Allergic Contact Dermatitis (ACD) patients. Methods: This was a hospital based retrospective study performed to investigate patch test reactivity in patients with ACD from April, 2016 through October, 2016. The data of patients who underwent patch test during this period were extracted and analyzed. Results: A total of 35 patients were included in the study. Nineteen (54.3%) tested positive to either one or more allergens. Among them, 17 (89.4%) reacted positively to a single allergen. The following patterns of positives were seen: nickel sulfate, 5 (26.3%), fragrance mix 3 (15.7%), and parthenium 3 (15.7%). Cobalt sulfate, formaldehyde, potassium dichromate, benzocaine, nitrofurazone, chlorocresol each was positive in single patient. Majority of the patients were housewives (22.6%) followed by students and officers (13% each), farmers (10%), health care workers (9.7%), wet work (6.5%) and others (20). Less than half (45%) of the hand eczema showed positive patch test. Similarly,40% of the patient of scattered generalized dermatitis showed reactivity to parthenium, nickel sulfate and multiple antigens. Conclusions: The most common allergens identified were nickel sulfate, fragrance mix and parthenium. Since, there is no well defined contact allergen in the Nepalese community, so patch test kits developed elsewhere might not have been beneficial and calls for need of large scale investigation to identify the local allergens.

[Cr]) along the last 20 years, particularly considering age, sex and its relation with occupational activity. Results: Out of 5 250 consecutively patch-tested patients, 1 626 (31%) were reactive to at least one metal (26.5% to Ni; 10.0% to Co and 7.9% to Cr). Women had a higher prevalence of sensitization to Ni (34.4% vs 8.9%) whereas men were more reactive to Cr (11.5% vs 5.0%). Nickel sensitization did not decrease significantly over the years, although in recent years among women sensitized to nickel the percentage of younger patients (16-30 years-old) is significantly lower (p < 0.001). Chromium sensitization significantly decreased, particularly in men (r = -0.535), and mainly in the construction workers (r = -0.639). Chromium reactivity associated with the shoe dermatitis has remained stable. Discussion: We emphasize the higher and stable percentage of nickel sensitized individuals suggesting, so far, a low impact from the EU Ni directive, although a decreasing percentage in the the younger group among Ni sensitized women may suggest a beneficial effect is becoming evident is this age group. On the contrary, the impact of the directive regarding the modification of Cr in cement seems to be effective. There is now a need to regulate chromium content in leather products, namely in shoes. Conclusions:The regulation of interventional measures related either to the manufacture and trade of adornments or professional use will better protect the population of allergy to metals.

“…This phrase from the brochure "The Romance of Nickel" clearly shows that this metal is present in a large variety of products, and therefore is almost impossible to avoid. 1,2 Nickel is an important cause of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) in the general population, both among children and adults, with a worldwide prevalence of around 8.6%. 3 The prevalence among young females is even higher, around 17%.…”

Nickel is the major cause of allergic contact dermatitis in the general population, both among children and adults, as well as in large occupational groups. This metal is used in numerous industrial and consumer products, including stainless steel, magnets, metal plating, coinage, and special alloys, and is therefore almost impossible to completely avoid in daily life. Nickel contact dermatitis can represent an important morbidity, particularly in patients with chronic hand eczema, which can lead to inability to work, a decrease in quality of life and signifi cant healthcare expenses. Therefore, its management is of great importance. This article reviews diagnostic, preventive and therapeutic strategies in this fi eld.
