We will analyze incidence of allergy to nickel, cobalt, chromate and gold for 2001–3 and compare this with previous studies in the same centre (1992–92, 1986–90, 1984–85) to look for changing trends in metal allergy in Singapore. We have noted that the prevalence of nickel and chromate allergy in our centre is rising again.
