Abstract | BACKGROUND: OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the long-term reproducibility of positive patch test reactions to antibiotics in patients with NI CADRs. METHODS: Fifty-six patients with NI CADRs to antibiotics who had relevant positive reactions during patch testing were invited to repeat patch tests with a similar antibiotic series 2-15 years thereafter. RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS: In the context of NI CADRs, we showed high reproducibility of positive patch test reactions to various antibiotics, even after several years.
