摘要：
Allergic skin disorders in the elderly may arise from contact with or ingestion of offending allergens. Itching associated with skin allergy must be distinguished from other causes of itching in the elderly such as xerosis, itching due to systemic disease and bullous disease. Although elderly people have somewhat decreased cell-mediated immunity and may be harder to sensitise under experimental conditions, they have had many years to acquire allergic responses, and therefore develop contact dermatitis frequently.
