BACKGROUND: The positivity ratio (PR) and reaction index (RI) characterize the ability of patch-test preparations to produce strong (++ or +++) reactions as opposed to weak (+), questionable, or irritant reactions.
OBJECTIVE: This study evaluates these measures for North American Contact Dermatitis Group (NACDG) patch-test preparations.
METHODS: The PR and RI were calculated for 79 NACDG standard allergens tested from 1994 to 2006 (n = 26,479 patients). The median values were used as cutoff values for "acceptable" versus "problematic" preparations.
RESULTS: The top 10 "acceptable" patch-test preparations (PR < or = 55 and RI > 0.46) were mixed dialkyl thioureas 1% in petrolatum (pet), tixocortol-21-pivalate 1% pet, ethylenediamine dihydrochloride 1% pet, sesquiterpene lactone mix 0.1% pet, nickel sulfate 2.5% pet, bacitracin 20% pet, thimerosal 0.1% pet, epoxy resin 1% pet, colophony 20% pet, and mercaptobenzothiazole 1% pet. The most "problematic" patch-test preparations (PR > 55 and RI < or = 0.46) were cocamidopropyl betaine 1% aqueous (aq), benzalkonium chloride 0.1% aq, jasmine absolute 2% pet, iodopropynyl butyl carbamate 0.1% pet, 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol 0.5% pet, methyldibromoglutaronitrile 0.4% pet, methyldibromoglutaronitrile/phenoxyethanol 2% pet and 2.5% pet, dimethylol dihydroxyethyleneurea 4.5% aq, and clobetasol-17-propionate 1% pet.
CONCLUSION: Caution should be used when interpreting reactions to "problematic" patch-test preparations with a high proportion of weak, irritant, and questionable reactions.
