Abstract
Photopatch testing was performed on 274 patients who had history of photosensitivity
at the Institute of Dermatology Thailand from 1987 through 1989. A total of 92 positive
photocontact reactions and 71 positive contact reactions were seen. The most frequent
positive photopatch test reactions were to sulfanilamide (18.2%) followed by Jadit
(4.4%) chlorpromazine (3.6%) promethazine (3.6%) and fenticlor (3.2%). The most common
photodermatoses was polymorphous light eruption (60.9%). Photocontact dermatitis was
established in 28 patients (10.2%) while other skin diseases aggravated by sunlight
were seen in 47 patients (17.2%).
