Abstract |
Seven female cashiers with a history of eczema from wearing nickel-containing jewelry all gave positive reactions to nickel sulfate in patch tests. However, only 1 of the 7 had eczema produced or aggravated by contact with coins. Thus, it is doubtful that a patient with a clear case of nickel allergy should always be advised against working as a cashier. |
