Epidemiology of Sensitivity to Nickel, Cobalt and Chromium in Israel: A Retrospective Cohort Study
In this retrospective Israeli study, the prevalence of sensitivity to nickel was stable but much higher compared to European and North American studies, highlighting the necessity for multicenter and general population studies and possibly a legislation regarding nickel restriction of items with prolonged contact with the skin. Cobalt and chromium sensitivities decreased and were in line with previous studies.
