About this book

In 30 chapters, the text deals with commercially available chemicals used for patch testing. It is the first book to provide a short and concise explanation for physicians, patients, and employees as how to minimize allergic contact dermatitis when patch testing is completed. The second book of this mini-series, "Patch testing and Prick testing" covers the new standard of patch testing and prick testing procedures in an efficient and practical way. Thus, both of these well-structured books should not be missed by any physician in daily practise when treating patients with dermatological problems.

Reviews

From the reviews of the first edition:

"This is a handy little paperback book summarizing the products that contain particular allergens, how to counsel the patient on what to avoid … . The purpose of the book is to educate the dermatologists in performing and interpreting positive patch tests and managing patients with contact dermatitis. The authors do a nice job of accomplishing these objectives. … Overall, I like this book and think it is a very handy reference … ." (Patricia Wong, www.doody.com, February, 2004)

"Management of positive patch test reactions is a demanding task based on knowledge about the test substances, the actual exposure and the clinical history. The publication Management of Positive Patch Test Reactions provides excellent support in this process. … the content is comprehensive and it is strongly recommended to those engaged in patch testing, even to the more experienced dermatologist." (Magnus Lindberg, Acta Dermato-Venereologica, Vol. 85, 2005)
