title: Intradermal test in contact allergy to metals.
abstract: Variations of intradermal test results were studied in a group of patients with clinically evident contact dermatitis and with the history suggestive of contact with metals and with negative patch tests reactions to the latter. The positive reactions obtained in several cases indicate that intradermal tests may reveal specific sensitivities, which patch tests using standard concentrations are not always capable of demonstrating.
