- Abstract
Patients with leg ulcers seen in the Oxford ulcer clinic are routinely patch tested to the Standard European Battery, a preservative battery and a medicament battery. Between January 1988, 81 patients were patch tested. An extremely high incidence of positive patch tests in this group of patients was detected. Both allergy to lanolin and to topical antibiotics remain a common problem. High incidence of multiple allergies and a high frequency of allergy to the acetyl stearyl alcohols was found.
