Prevalence of benzocaine and lidocaine patch test sensitivity in Denmark: temporal trends and relevance.

Abstract:

UNLABELLED:BACKGROUND. Allergens included in the European baseline series should result in positive patch test reactions in at least 1% of a patch test population. Inclusion of local anaesthetics other than benzocaine in the baseline series has previously been debated. OBJECTIVES:To investigate temporal trends of benzocaine and lidocaine allergy in dermatitis patients who underwent routine patch testing in a tertiary referral patch test centre, and to clarify and discuss whether lidocaine and benzocaine should be included in routine series. METHODS:Dermatitis patients who underwent routine patch testing with benzocaine as a part of the European baseline series between 1985 and 2010 (n = 19 347) and dermatitis patients who underwent routine patch testing with lidocaine between 1994 and 2001 (n = 6265) and between 2007 and 2009 (n = 1360) were included. RESULTS:The overall prevalences of contact allergy were 0.5% (benzocaine), 0.3% (lidocaine for the period 1994-2001), and 0.14% (lidocaine for the period 2007-2009). Current relevance was observed in 10% of those with benzocaine allergy and in 5% of those with lidocaine allergy. CONCLUSIONS:Benzocaine and lidocaine allergy is infrequent in Danish dermatitis patients. Lidocaine should only be used for aimed testing, and benzocaine should be removed from the baseline series used in Denmark.
