Photopatch testing with an extended series of photoallergens: a 5‐year study

Objective:  We conducted a retrospective study (2003–07) evaluating the results of photopatch tests (PPTs) performed with an extended series with the objective of determining the main photoallergens in our region and whether they would be detected by a recently recommended baseline PPT series.
