Patch test reactivity to aluminium chambers.

Contact allergy to aluminium may develop following vaccination with aluminium-adsorbed vaccines. To rule out contact allergy as a cause of the patient's hand eczema, patch testing was performed with the European baseline series adapted for children, including the department's extension with topical medicament allergens. In our clinic, the present patient is the only who has shown patch test reactivity to aluminium chambers without vaccination granulomas. [Extracted from the article]
