Background: The skin contact test or patch test is considered to be a fundamental tool for investigating allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). Better knowledge on the prevalence of allergens in the environment is a good strategy for enabling a better approach towards contact dermatitis (CD) cases. Objective: The objective of the present study was to evaluate the prevalence of the main allergens of ACD in a population group in the interior of the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Methods: The results from 368 patch tests on adult patients with CD were evaluated through a retrospective study under the supervision of the Discipline of Allergy and Clinical Immunopathology and the Discipline of Dermatology at the Marília Medical School. Results: Mean age was 41.2 (± 17.2) years, with predomination of women (71.5%). The majority of the patients (91.3%) presented reactivity to at least one substance. Nickel sulfate and the perfume mix stood out as the most allergenic substances. Conclusion: Among the variety of substances to be tested in an etiological investigation for CD, perfumes and nickel are especially likely to be allergens in this population group.

Cyclospora cayetanensis causes watery diarrhea in tropical countries, among travelers and after ingestion of contaminated water and food. Very little is known about its epidemiology, pathogenic aspects and reservoirs. In Brazil, its prevalence is unknown and to date there have been reports of three outbreaks. We report here a retrospective study of 5,015 stool samples from 4,869 patients attended at Clinical Hospital of the University of São Paulo Medical School, SP, Brazil between April 1996 and January 2002, with 14 cases of Cyclospora cayetanensis being detected there was a prevalence of 0.3%. Of the 14 infected patients, the mean age was 38 years and 71.4% were female. Ten patients presented symptoms; six presented levels of immunological markers and five patients were immunodeficient.
