Therefore, the present study aims to retrospectively analyze the frequency of contact sensitization among patients with psoriasis and AD compared to controls, in order to further investigate the relationship between CA and the underlying immunological background. Methods: All data concerning patients who underwent patch testing from 2016 to 2022 in the dermatology clinic of a tertiary center in Southern Italy have been retrospectively collected. Only patients who underwent patch testing with the S.I.D.A.PA. standard series have been selected and divided into three groups: AD group, psoriasis group and control group. Acquired data were organized into database and underwent statistical examination. Results: A total of 2287 patients have been enrolled, including 377 AD patients, 127 psoriatic patients and 1783 controls. The most frequent allergens were nickel and balsam of Peru. Methylisothiazolinone (4.2% vs. 2.2%), paraben mix (0.3% vs. 0%) and neomycin (1.3% vs. 0.4%) significantly provided more positive reactions (PSR) in the AD group compared to the control one, and fragrance mix II displayed a higher rate of positivity in the atopic group compared to the psoriatic one (3.2% vs. 0%). Conclusions: Psoriasis turned out to be a possible protective factor for CA (odds ratio = 0.6), while AD seems to facilitate its development (odds ratio: 1.42). The limitations of this study mainly rely upon its retrospective nature which limited the acquisition of clinical relevance for PSR. Further studies are required to better investigate this topic.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics15060766","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,19]],"date-time":"2025-03-19T07:48:37Z","timestamp":1742370517000},"page":"766","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Contact Allergy in Atopic Dermatitis and Psoriasis: A Retrospective Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1319-4946","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Domenico","family":"Bonamonte","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Section of Dermatology and Venereology, Department of Precision and Regenerative Medicine and Jonian Area, University of Bari \u201cAldo Moro\u201d, 70124 Bari, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-5829-2229","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aurora","family":"De Marco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Section of Dermatology and Venereology, Department of Precision and Regenerative Medicine and Jonian Area, University of Bari \u201cAldo Moro\u201d, 70124 Bari, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8363-0195","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Giulia","family":"Ciccarese","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Section of Dermatology, Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences, University of Foggia, Viale Pinto, 71122 Foggia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paolo","family":"Romita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Section of Dermatology and Venereology, Department of Precision and Regenerative Medicine and Jonian Area, University of Bari \u201cAldo Moro\u201d, 70124 Bari, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giulio","family":"Giancaspro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Section of Dermatology and Venereology, Department of Precision and Regenerative Medicine and Jonian Area, University of Bari \u201cAldo Moro\u201d, 70124 Bari, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5718-7003","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francesca","family":"Ambrogio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Section of Dermatology and Venereology, Department of Precision and Regenerative Medicine and Jonian Area, University of Bari \u201cAldo Moro\u201d, 70124 Bari, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Caterina","family":"Foti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Section of Dermatology and Venereology, Department of Precision and Regenerative Medicine and Jonian Area, University of Bari \u201cAldo Moro\u201d, 70124 Bari, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Tramontana, M., Hansel, K., Bianchi, L., Sensini, C., Malatesta, N., and Stingeni, L.
