Diagnostic accuracy of patch testing based in clinical response to contact allergen restrictions in allergic contact dermatitis

The low number of patients who achieved a 90% CR invites to reconsider the allergens included in PT and the mechanistic processes of the disease.PMID:38376473 | DOI:10.23822/EurAnnACI.1764-1489.331
