Allergy to oxidized limonene and linalool is frequent throughout the UK
ConclusionThis large multicentre UK audit shows a significant rate of allergy to the hydroperoxides of limonene and linalool plus a high rate of irritant reactions. Testing to the oxidized forms alone captures the majority (97%; 411 of 422) of positive reactions; testing to non‐oxidized terpenes appears to be less useful. We recommend that the hydroperoxides of limonene and linalool be added to an extended baseline patch test series.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Allergy to oxidized limonene and linalool is frequent in the U.K.
ConclusionsThis large, multicentre U.K. audit shows a significant rate of allergy to the hydroperoxides of limonene and linalool plus a high rate of irritant reactions. Testing to the oxidized forms alone captures the majority (97·0%; 411 of 422) of positive reactions; testing to nonoxidized terpenes appears to be less useful. We recommend that the hydroperoxides of limonene and linalool be added to an extended baseline patch test series.

Contact allergy to chlorhexidine in a tertiary dermatology clinic in Denmark
ConclusionsThe prevalence of chlorhexidine contact allergy does not seem to be higher in Denmark than in other European countries. Patch testing with both chlorhexidine diacetate and chlorhexidine digluconate may be beneficial. Testing for immediate‐type allergy in patients with a positive patch test reaction to chlorhexidine is recommended. Chlorhexidine‐containing products used in the healthcare setting and in cosmetics are potential causes of sensitization and allergy. Re‐exposure is common, highlighting the fact that patients and healthcare personnel need to be well informed about possible sources of exposure.

Cobalt allergy: suitable test concentration, and concomitant reactivity to nickel and chromium
ConclusionsCobalt chloride 1% pet. is more suitable for patch testing than 0.5%. Solitary cobalt allergy is as frequent as concomitant allergy to cobalt and nickel or chromium. Sources of skin exposure to metals need to be identified for prevention of contact allergy. This is, owing to large knowledge gaps, particularly demanding for cobalt.
