ResumoSensitization by para‐tertiary‐butylphenolformaldehyde resin (PTBP‐FR). which is particularly useful as a leather glue, has been known fur 30 years. We retrospectively studied the clinical aspects, of those patients with a PTBP‐FR allergy among 1966 patients in whom contact dermatitis was confirmed by patch testing. A positive patch test to PTBP‐FR was. present in 30 patients (1.5%). 24 of whom were women, fixposure to PTBP‐FR as a cause of the dermatitis was “certain” in 7 “very likely” in 6 and “unclear” in 17. 677% of the patients had a multiple allergy. In 43.3% of the patients, a history of atopy was found. No Clear association of PTBP‐ER sensitization with allergies to phenolformaldehyde resin (P‐FR) or free para‐tertiary‐butylphenol (PTBP) EMERGED IN THIS GROUP OF 30 PATIENTS. This study supports the hypothesis that PTBP‐FR do not contain the same sensitizers. Follow up of 26 of the 30 patients showed a favourable course, dependent on identification of the source of exposure, avoidance of further contact and absence of sensitization to multiple allergens.
