title: [Photocontact allergy. On the epidemiology and possible prediction from animal experiments (author's transl)].
abstract: The incidence of photocontact allergic reactions in man is compared with that of pure contact allergic reactions by reviewing the literature of the last 15 years. A list of the more important photoallergenic compounds with the numbers of published clinical cases has been compiled. The common animal test procedures are reviewed and critically discussed.
