title: Panels of allergens for specific occupations.
abstract: It is important to have available panels of materials for patch testing patients working in specific occupations. Although it is not essential in every case to test with each substance listed on a given panel, careful consideration of the patient's work environment should suggest the specific test items that will provide the highest diagnostic yield in cases of allergic contact dermatitis.
