BACKGROUND: @entity3408 caused by @entity2144 is common, and causes significant @entity1 morbidity. Contemporary data are important to allow appropriate preventive measures and identification of contact @entity566 trends. OBJECTIVES: To describe the pattern of patch test reactivity to @entity2144 , including those in the European baseline series. METHODS: Data collected by the European Surveillance System on Contact @entity566 (ESSCA) network between 2009 and 2012 from 12 European countries were analysed. RESULTS: Contact @entity566 to thiuram mix declined over the studied time period, with an overall prevalence of 1.87%. The prevalence of @entity566 to carba mix was 2.29%, and was significantly increasing. Prevalence rates of sensitization to other @entity2144 were largely unchanged. Statistical analysis with the MOAHLFA index confirmed the strong links between @entity2144 and @entity3680 . CONCLUSIONS: Changing patterns of @entity566 to rubber additives have been identified. Inclusion of carba mix in the European baseline series may be appropriate.
