(1) Staphylococcus infection or colonization, contact allergies to metals such as nickel and less commonly mercury, sensitivity to formaldehyde or medicines such as neomycin, and sensitization to an environmental

Before considering biologies, tests based on physiology or biomarkers--including in vitro reactivity to a perennial
aeroallergen or skin tests, peripheral blood eosinophil counts, exhaled nitric oxide, or reversibility in pulmonary function testing (indicating reversible obstruction)--may aid in treatment decisions.
