  • patients who demonstrate a 1+. The rest of the population will be those who demonstrate a positivity of 2+ or higher. Eligible patients may enroll as soon as study Inclusion/Exclusion criteria are met. For example, for those patients who have staggered patch test series start dates, as soon as the first series final reading on day 5 is completed demonstrating fragrance allergy, enrollment will be offered, even if they have not completed their other patch tests series. Note that patch testing to patient products concurrently with standardized patch test series is common clinical practice.
