These additions and the pharmaceutical test series [6] were proposed by the Belgian Contact Dermatitis Group consisting of the Departments of Dermatology of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (H.

Patch test results from 163 patients with leg ulcers and/or chronic venous insufficiency, tested with a modified ICDRG standard test battery and a pharmaceutical test series, are analyzed and compared with the results obtained from a randomly selected control group of patients with eczematous conditions. A sensitization index for the most common contact allergens present in this test series is calculated, and the relevancy of hypersensitivity to specific topical agents is determined.

“…Terpenes, especially 3-carene, may irritate the skin and mucous membranes [8,9] and prolonged exposure may result in allergic contact dermatitis [10,11] or chronic lung function impairment [4], The active component may be an oxidation product, identified as a hydroperoxide of 3-carene [2,12]. The purpose of this study was to clarify the mechanism(s) of acute lung effects induced by 3-car ene using an isolated, perfused and ventilated guinea pig lung model.…”

Inhaled 3-carene at a concentration of 5,000 mg/m³ caused bronchoconstriction in isolated, ventilated and perfused guinea pig lungs. This effect was inhibited by the cyclooxygenase inhibitor diclofenac (100 µM) and the thromboxane/prostaglandin endoperoxide-receptor antagonist L-670,596 (1 µM). 3-Carene exposure also increased the amount of thromboxane in the perfusate from the lungs. In cultured calf pulmonary arterial endothelial cells 3-carene caused a dose-related release of arachidonic acid. Thus, the results obtained in this experimental model may have implications in the understanding of the pathophysiology of 3-carene-induced obstructive pulmonary disease in humans.

In 164 patients with chronic recurrent urticaria, the value of skin tests was investigated. Patch tests carried out with the standard series of the International Contact Dermatitis Research Group and with a series of penicillins revealed positive reactions in 22 (35/162) and 6.9% (11/158), respectively. In 21.5% (33/152) positive intracutaneous tests to cilligen and/or penicillin G were observed. 35% (51/147) of the patients had one or more positive intracutaneous tests with inhalants. Scratch tests with food allergens showed positive reactions in 12.5% (12/95). There was no difference in results between patients with idiopathic urticaria or angio-oedema and those with physical urticaria. The value of these findings is discussed. Most of the patients with penicillin allergy, were recommended to be on a diet free from milk and milk products. In 50% this was successful.
