AB  - Statements in the literature as to whether a relation exists between atopy and 
      nickel allergy are contradictory. I have attempted to make the diagnosis of the 
      two states more stringent by using immunoglobulin E (IgE) determinations and 
      serial dilution tests with nickel sulfate. The IgE determinations proved to be of 
      less value in cases of pure eczema, and nonspecific (?) increases were sometimes 
      observed. The incidence of family atopy was higher in other reports, but the 
      clinical significance of this was unclear. Serial dilution tests gave important 
      information, and a warning is issued against uncritical acceptance of a test 
      reaction with 5.0% nickel sulfate in a patient with suspected atopy.
