Primula dermatitis.

Abstract

We report the cases of 2 patients diagnosed as having primula dermatitis. Both patients were housewives who had been exposed to primula plants. Although only one related her clinical manifestations with looking after plants, the symptoms of both remitted when contact with primula was avoided. The diagnosis was carried out with a patch test concentration of 0.01% primin pet. As primula dermatitis has variable clinical manifestations that can not easily be related to contact allergy, we emphasize the need to include synthetic primin in our standard patch test series.
