J Am Acad Dermatol. 1981 Sep;5(3):328-42. doi: 10.1016/s0190-9622(81)70099-9.

Abstract

The term "the contact urticaria syndrome," proposed in 1975, has been generally accepted and led to proliferation of new examples. This paper summarizes this clinical material and presents a diagnostic and pathogenetic evaluation method. The risks (and minimization, thereof) of systemic skin test-induced reactions are delineated.
