S ummary Cases of severe and chronic dermatitis were surveyed by performing a series of immunological tests. The relationship of IgE levels and the number of positive immediate and delayed tests seems worthy of further study. It is apparent that the diagnosis of chronic dermatitis can no longer be made on purely clinical grounds, but requires the testing of aetiological and host factors.
