Abstract
Development of local allergic reactions after different application times with Finn Chambers was recorded in 34 Ni-sensitive patients. Biologically significant amounts of Ni seemed to penetrate the skin within a few hours, although physical penetration was minimal. Ni was detected only in the upper keratin cell layer with an X-ray microanalysis method.
