A positive cobalt spot test falsely indicating an occupational allergic contact dermatitis caused by cobalt.
(2013) In Contact Dermatitis 69(3). p.172-175- Abstract
- For investigation of chemical exposure in allergic individuals, spot tests are invaluable. A reagent may react with a specific compound to give a specific typical colour, and thus indicate the presence of the specific substance. Spot tests can give both false-negative and false-positive reactions. To confirm the presence of the substance and quantify it, more sophisticated methods are required. On the basis of a positive cobalt spot test result, a woman was initially diagnosed with an occupational allergic contact dermatitis caused by cobalt.
