What is the optimal duration for a ROAT? The experience of the French Dermatology and Allergology group (DAG)

Abstract: Background and Objectives:The repeated open application test (ROAT) is an adjuvant investigation measure to patch testing in the diagnosis of allergic contact dermatitis. ESCD recommends a 15 days duration but its overall duration varies according to publications and patients hardly adhere to prolonged ROAT duration beyond 1 week.

“…To our knowledge, this clinical pattern has not yet been reported in cases of ACD from neem, nor from argan, olive or jojoba oils. Conversely, a papular or follicular reaction is readily observed in repeated open application tests (ROATs), regardless of the product under investigation 12 . Hence, in the present case, the follicular inflammatory pattern on the patient's forearms might even be considered as an ‘unintentional’ ROAT with neem oil.…”

“…Like the ROAT, the GRAT has the advantage of being a simple and non-invasive test that mimics the usage situation as much as possible to increase the ability of detecting ACD. Concerning the GRAT protocol, we chose a duration of 10 nights because it seemed to be a good compromise between the sensitivity of the test and the adherence of the patients; the Dermato-Allergology Group of the French Society of Dermatology had shown in a recently published study that 98% of positive ROAT occurred within 10 nights of application of the product [18]. Although we minimized the occlusion properties of the test by using a non-adhesive strip and a shorter application time, repetitive application of a new piece of glove for 10 nights could induce innate skin inflammation (skin irritation) in predisposed patients.…”

“…After being asymptomatic for 4 months, the patient performed a second ROAT with hydroxyacetophenone 0.6% aq. She was instructed to apply the hydroxyacetophenone preparation with a cotton swab (to avoid passive allergen transfer through contaminated hands to distant body sites) for a period of 3 weeks 5 . Another flare‐up involving the neck (Figure 1F), without reaction on the forearm, again occurred on D5.…”
