- Abstract
Patch testing with formaldehyde 2% aq. - A multicenter study in Spain The concentration of formaldehyde used in the patch test has been controversial, but the latest European recommendations[1] suggest that formaldehyde 2% aq. is the optimal concentration because clinically relevant contact allergy to formaldehyde may be missed by testing with formaldehyde 1% aq. In conclusion, the present study with formaldehyde 2% aq. shows a higher frequency of sensitization to formaldehyde in Spain than previous studies with formaldehyde 1% aq.
