Preface to Fourth Edition
The third edition of this introductory manual How to Patch/Prick Test was published in 2012. A fourth edition seemed urgently needed, keeping the same format but including several breakthroughs that appeared recently in the field of patch testing and prick testing. So many changes occurred at different levels of information, such as immune mechanisms involved in the development of irritant and allergic contact dermatitis, updated lists of contact allergens (baseline and additional series), and reorganization of companies producing and/or distributing patch and/or prick test materials and/or allergens. All were taken into account, keeping in mind the spirit of both diagnostic procedures, a combination of Science and Art. We hope this fourth edition will give you as much pleasure to read as it has given us to research and revisit. Thank you to everyone at Springer who made this newest edition possible, most specifically Asja Rehse, Elizabeth Orthmann, and the production team. We welcome corrections/suggestions in behalf of ICDRG. Brussels, Belgium Jean-Marie L
