There are various references to sensitization to beryllium in the literature. Since introducing a patch testing series for patients with suspected sensitization to metals, we have found 3 cases of sensitization to beryllium, of these 3 cases, we regard the first 2 as having relevant sensitization Beryllium chloride (l%. pet.) was positive in 3 patients and negative in 150 controls.
