Abstract

Background: Skin aging causes various immunological and structural changes and increases the risk of many skin diseases such as contact dermatitis.

Objective: Our aim was to share the allergen contact dermatitis sensitivities of the elderly population with the European baseline series (EBS) results.

Materials and methods: Patients aged 65 years and older who were patch tested with EBS in the immunology and allergy clinic between January 1, 2018, and March 1, 2025, were included in the study.

Results: The median age of the 62 patients included in the study was 69.5 years (25-75, 66.0-73.3 years); 54.8% of the patients were female; and 82.3% of the patients were under the age of 75. The rate of at least one positive patch test was 41.9%, and no positivity was observed in approximately half of the allergens included in the EBS. The rate of at least one positive test result was 37.3% in the 65-74 age group and 63.6% in the 75-84 age group (p = 0.177). The rate of at least one positive test result was 35.3% in women and 50% in men (p = 0.243). The most common allergen over the age of 65 was fragrance mix I (11.3%), followed by potassium dichromate (9.7%) and fragrance mix II (9.7%) in equal proportions.

Conclusion: It is also very necessary to create an "elderly baseline series" by avoiding unnecessary allergens that are not detected as positive in patch tests. In addition, increasing the number of studies in geriatric patients will help in understanding trends in contact allergy.

欧洲基线系列斑贴试验在老年人群中的结果。

背景：皮肤老化引起各种免疫和结构变化，增加许多皮肤疾病的风险，如接触性皮炎。目的：我们的目的是分享老年人过敏原接触性皮炎的敏感性与欧洲基线系列（EBS）的结果。材料和方法：纳入2018年1月1日至2025年3月1日期间在免疫学和过敏诊所接受EBS贴片试验的65岁及以上患者。结果：纳入研究的62例患者中位年龄为69.5岁（25-75岁，66.0-73.3岁）；女性占54.8%；82.3%的患者年龄在75岁以下。至少一次斑贴试验阳性的比率为41.9%，大约一半的EBS过敏原未观察到阳性。65 ~ 74岁组至少一次阳性检出率为37.3%，75 ~ 84岁组为63.6% （p = 0.177）。女性至少一次阳性检出率为35.3%，男性为50% （p = 0.243）。65岁以上人群中最常见的过敏原是香精I(11.3%)，其次是重铬酸钾（9.7%）和香精II(9.7%)，比例相同。结论：通过避免在斑贴试验中未检测到阳性的不必要的过敏原，创建“老年人基线系列”也是非常必要的。此外，增加老年患者的研究数量将有助于了解接触性过敏的趋势。

期刊介绍： Founded in 1972 by Professor A. Oehling, Allergologia et Immunopathologia is a forum for those working in the field of pediatric asthma, allergy and immunology. Manuscripts related to clinical, epidemiological and experimental allergy and immunopathology related to childhood will be considered for publication. Allergologia et Immunopathologia is the official journal of the Spanish Society of Pediatric Allergy and Clinical Immunology (SEICAP) and also of the Latin American Society of Immunodeficiencies (LASID). It has and independent international Editorial Committee which submits received papers for peer-reviewing by international experts. The journal accepts original and review articles from all over the world, together with consensus statements from the aforementioned societies. Occasionally, the opinion of an expert on a burning topic is published in the "Point of View" section. Letters to the Editor on previously published papers are welcomed. Allergologia et Immunopathologia publishes 6 issues per year and is included in the major databases such as Pubmed, Scopus, Web of Knowledge, etc.
