“…37,48,49 Positive APT reactions were significantly more frequent in patients with a typical air-exposed predilection for the skin lesions. 50 In recent studies, even in some patients with intrinsic AD, a reactivity to aeroallergens or food allergens has been shown with the APT, 51 but the mechanisms by which this occurs remain unclear.…”

“…A few studies have investigated the possible modulation of the APT by an anti‐inflammatory skin treatment: glucocorticosteroids and tar were both able to reduce the macroscopic outcome of the APT reaction and the influx of inflammatory cells, however, all cell types remained present (46). For the topical immunomodulators, tacrolimus and pimecrolimus, a similar effect can be assumed (47).…”

A number of scientific reports have been published on patch tests with protein allergens performed on patients with atopic eczema (AE). Evaluation of eczematous skin lesions with an atopy patch test (APT) can be used as a diagnostic tool in characterizing patients with aeroallergen- and food-triggered AE. Indications for testing with APT, choice of allergens (aeroallergens and foods), test materials and technique, including present knowledge on sensitivity and specificity, are reviewed on the basis of available literature. This position paper also points out the need for future research on the clinical use of the APT.
