Persistence of allergic contact sensitivity in subjects with photosensitivity dermatitis and actinic reticuloid syndrome.
We report the maintenance of allergic contact sensitivity in 20 subjects with photosensitivity dermatitis and actinic reticuloid syndrome. Positive patch test reactions were demonstrated some years after the initial diagnosis and after significant maintained improvement of the photodermatosis had occurred.
