The atopy patch test (APT), a patch test employing allergens known to elicit IgE-mediated reactions which is assessed by evaluating eczematous skin lesions after 24 h to 72 h, was developed as a diagnostic tool for characterizing patients with aeroallergen-triggered atopic eczema (AE, atopic dermatitis). Positive APT reactions are associated with allergen-specific T-cell responses. The specificity of APT is higher than the specificity of skin prick tests or RAST. More studies for the standardization of APT methods are necessary, especially with regard to food APT.

“…Sulzberger probably was first to perform this procedure when he analyzed, without special interpretation, approximately 12,000 APTs, among which he tested patients with house dust mite and other aeroallergens [15].…”

“…The earliest publication on patch testing in eczema was described in 1937 [4], but the earliest control trial was in 1982 [5]. Since then, many European centers have used patch testing to aide in the diagnosis of food allergy in children with atopic dermatitis, the results of which are thought to be indicative of late-phase reactions.…”

Diagnosing food allergies can be challenging to the practitioner. Our armamentarium includes standardized skin prick testing, radioallergoimmunosorbent (RAST) testing, and food challenges. These methods have certainly been helpful in the IgE-mediated disorders, including urticaria and anaphylaxis. However, diagnosing patients who have the non-IgE (cell-mediated) or mixed (IgE and cell-mediated) disorders remains challenging with our current diagnostic methods. Recent studies have examined the use of patch testing for these food-allergic patients, specifically those with atopic dermatitis and eosinophilic esophagitis. In this article, we review literature regarding patch testing: its methods, its statistical usefulness, and its potential future role.
