13 children ranging in age from 1 to 13 years and 1 adult patient had positive patch tests to 2% Alcl 3 in water. 13 of them had pruritic excoriated papules, 9 al sites of hyposensitization therapy with aluminium‐bound pollen extracts, and 4 al sites of childhood immunization with an aluminium‐bouud vaccine [Di‐Te‐Pot). For the 1 adult patient, the positive patch test was not considered to be of current relevance. Aluminium is most likely to sensitize when present in preparations used for immunization.
