Background: The relationship between atopic dermatitis and allergic contact dermatitis is frequently debated, particularly in children. The impaired skin barrier of atopic subjects can facilitate the penetration of exogenous agents and its mutations in the filaggrin gene might be implicated in an increased risk to develop contact dermatitis. Moreover, atopic children are protractedly exposed to chemical substances contained in skin care products from an early age. Patients And Methods: The aim of this retrospective study is to determine if atopic children are more prone to allergic contact dermatitis and which substances are more frequently related to this disease. From 2014 to 2016, a total of 268 children under 14 years with a history of eczematous dermatitis, of whom 141 (52.6%) were affected, and 127 (47.4%) were not affected by AD, underwent patch testing with the baseline S.I.D.A.P.A standard series. Results: Based on the results of our study, the prevalence of contact allergy in atopic children is comparable to that noted in non-atopic children. The most frequent causes of contact allergy in children are fragrances, and their prevalence is significantly higher in atopic children (19.9%) than in non-atopic ones, (11.8%; p < .05). Conclusion: Our study highlights the importance of patch testing in atopic children for continuously monitoring the trends and changes of contact allergies that are a common disease and is even significantly increasing for some allergens, as fragrances. We may speculate that the protracted use of skincare products, associated with the impaired skin barrier of atopic children, enhances the risk of sensitization to the ingredients of these products.

Background: Hypersensitization to nickel is one of the most common contact allergies in the modern world and it is considered to be a major cause of contact dermatitis, especially for hand eczema. Objective: The aim of this paper is to describe many faces of the nickel allergy and to find out different diagnostic, potential strategies for treatment and prevention in hypersensitized patients. A personal clinical experience with practical clinical cases of contact dermatitis to nickel has also been presented. Methods: Electronic databases on this topic was carried out using PubMed-Medline. Results: The literature review identified many articles reporting for nickel contact allergy and pointing the metal as number one allergen in the frequency of positive skin patch test reactions in a large population worldwide. Herein, a summary of the current understanding and evidence on nickel allergy with practical approach and proposed recommendations to the dermatologist, general practitioner, and the allergist were prepared. Conclusions: The prevalence of nickel allergy represents an important socio-economical and health issue. Metal is one of the most common sensitizing agents worldwide. The morbidity due to this metal represents the allergic contact dermatitis and it is constantly growing in many countries. There are also cases of systemic allergic contact dermatitis, where they could be easily misdiagnosed as adverse drug reactions, which lead to delay of the correct diagnosis and inappropriate treatment.

In Romania, data on patch testing are lacking and the significance and applicability of the European baseline series (EBS) needs to be evaluated. The aim of the study was to examine the prevalence of contact allergy to the EBS and to determine the most common post-test sensitization occurred in the population of patients with suspected allergic contact dermatitis in Romania. Demographic data were collected from 252 patients with suspected allergic contact dermatitis. Pacients were patch tested with 28-allergen EBS.The positive patch test was observed in 80.16% patients. The most prevalent contact allergens were nickel sulphate (15.08%), fragrance mix I & II (13.10%) and potassium dichromate (9.52%). Differences in sensitization prevalences to some allergens of the EBS compared with other European countries were recognized. The current EBS is a suitable diagnostic tool for contact allergy in Romania.
