BACKGROUND: The irritant properties of some preservatives and the use of water as the patch test vehicle for some of them call for a critical evaluation of patch test reactions to preservatives.
OBJECTIVES: To examine the association between test vehicle (petrolatum versus water) or the patients' age and history of atopic dermatitis, respectively, and certain patterns of reaction to preservatives.
PATIENTS/METHODS: Data of 34,631 patients tested in 34 centres with 11 common preservatives were retrospectively analysed. The dynamic reaction patterns, reaction indices (RIs) and positivity ratios (PRs) were statistically evaluated.
RESULTS: All preservatives yielded more crescendo reactions in older than in younger patients. For 10 of 11 preservatives, the percentage of crescendo reactions was slightly higher in patients without a history of atopic dermatitis, and for 10 of 11 agents the RI was higher in patients with a positive history of atopic dermatitis. No consistent vehicle-related effects on reaction characteristics were found. Chlorhexidine digluconate 0.5% in water and sodium benzoate 5% in petrolatum had the lowest RIs, highest PRs, and lowest proportions of crescendo reactions.
CONCLUSIONS: Water as a vehicle is unlikely to affect the reaction patterns of preservatives. The generally used patch test preparations of chlorhexidine digluconate and sodium benzoate need improvement.
