- Abstract
The incidences of sensitization to Kathon® CG are reported for patients routinely tested from 1984 to 1986 in Bari, London, Louvain, Nijmegen, Oulu and San Francisco. For these 3 years, the overall frequency of sensitization varied for women from 3.3% in Oulu to 0.6% in London and San Francisco and for men from 1.4% in Oulu to 0% in San Francisco. Women were predominantly sensitized, probably by cosmetics, toiletries and domestic cleaners. Occupational sensitization was much less frequent.
