Responses from this survey were compared with responses from a 1990 survey of dermatologists. <strong>Results:</strong> Eighty-three percent of responding dermatologists stated that they performed patch testing in their practice. Whereas the majority of patch testing dermatologists (52%) used a 48-hour, 96-hour patch test reading schedule, 26% performed a single reading at 48 or 72 hours. Among patch testing dermatologists, most (74%) used TRUE Test, and many (44%) did so because it was less time consuming for staff. Many dermatologists (46%) felt that they were patch testing more patients now than when TRUE Test was not available. Eleven percent of dermatologists who patch tested also photopatch tested. <strong>Conclusions:</strong> The proportion of US dermatologists who patch test has significantly increased from 1990 to 1997 (<em>P</em> [lt ] .0001).
