Popis: Patch test has been used to determine the existance of metal allergy, and the severity thereof has been determined by the change in skin color.In order to obtain an accurate judgment of the change in skin color, the statistical formulation was calculated based on colorimetric investigation into 9 kinds of color characteristics: 1) Spectral reflectance curve, 2) Color difference, 3) Depth of shade, 4) CIE Lab-L*, 5) CIE Lab-a*, 6) CIE Lab-b*, 7) Munsell-H, 8) Munsell-C, and 9) Munsell-V.The rate of the agreement with statistical judgment and that of conventional subjective was 100% in positive reaction, and ranged from 90% to 94% in negative reaction.In conclusion, the original statistical formulation based on colorimetric characteristics showed high level accuracy for determining the change in skin color reaction by the patch test.
