 Background : We have reported the positive rates of Japanese standard allergens (JSA) since 1994. Objective : To examine JSA-positive rates. Subjects : 2,209 cases (male, n=533 ; female, n=1,676) in 2013 and 1,929 cases (male, n=424 ; female, n=1,505) in 2014. Results : The positive rates in 2013 and 2014 were high for the following allergens : nickel sulfate (15.1 and 16.7%, respectively) , urushiol (10.5 and 12.5%, respectively) , cobalt chloride (8.8 and 8.4%, respectively) , p-phenylenediamine (7.2 and 7.7%, respectively) , fradiomycin sulfate (7.7 and 7.6%, respectively) , gold sodium thiosulfate (5.2 and 5.7%, respectively) , and fragrance mix (6 and 5.6%, respectively) . The positive rates by gender in 2014 were higher for urushiol, potassium dichromate, lanolin alcohol, epoxy resin, and primin in males and nickel sulfate, gold sodium thiosulfate, fradiomycin sulfate, fragrance mix, and p-phenylenediamine in females.
