Lynde, C. W.; Mitchell, J. C.
- Abstract
The article focuses on patch testing with balsam of Peru and fragrance mix. Following Hjorth's monograph, the naturally occurring mix, balsam of Peru, has been considered a useful patch test screening material for aroma chemical contact sensitivity. More recently, attempts have been made to incorporate allergenic aroma chemicals into man-made mixes by Larsen, whose Fragrance Mix was adopted for use by the North American Contact Dermatitis Group and used in the patch test unit of Shaughnessy Hospital in Vancouver, Canada as part of the standard screen.
