[Standard epicutaneous tests: interpretation of the statistical findings of the last five years].
The statistical evaluation of the epicutaneous tests performed between 1976-1980 in the Department of Dermatology at the University Hospital in Hamburg revealed 1320 positive reactions to different contact allergens in 5348 patients (25%). The most frequent responses were found with nickel sulfate. Sixty percent of all positive test reactions were covered by eight of the 30 used allergens ("hit list"). While allergy to tromantidine, arnica and colophony has increased, cases due to methyl salicylate, vioform and turpentine were less frequently seen. Comprehensively, the used standard series has proved to be a representative screening method.
