Summary Thirty‐seven patients who had shown a relevant positive patch‐test response to lanolin within the previous 5 years were retested. Only 41% demonstrated persistence of the positive patch test to lanolin. Analysis according to age, sex, atopic status, interval between patch testings, strength of the original response and the number of concurrent reactions, were not associated with the persistence of the lanolin response.
