Diagnosis
Diagnosis of ACD
Patch test
Site
Precautions
Do not test on inflamed skin coz penetration will be more and difficult to
take readings as already inflamed
Edema
Vesicles
Vegetables
Berloque dermatitis
Classically eu de cologne
It contains Bergemot oil derived from a citrus plant, this produced the
Photosensitivity
Aroma chemically means a closed ring structure, thus all can cause
photosensitive reactions
2. Removal/ protection
Endogenous eczema

allergies develop
3. Increased IgE
4. Increased eosinophils

are mainly of secondary type but rarely can develop at site of healed

Treponemal: specific
TPHA
FTA ABS
New tests
Traditional method
If positive
Syphilis
VDRL / RPR
Old age
Infectious mononucleosis
Lepromatous leprosy
SLE
Pregnancy( probably not increased any more than normal but traditional
false positive)
Very high levels of Ab and blocking Ab, no flocculation seen, pro zone
phenomena: do in serial dilutions: then would be positive
Titers follow/ parallel the disease activity and these can be done to follow
up the pt unlike treponemal test which are positive for life
FTA ABS : most sensitive and first serological test that is positive
Currently
In sensitivity
