Abstract:
Primula obconica which contains the potcnt sensitizer, primin, is a common cause of allergic contact dermatitis among gardeners and florists, yet a case of primula dermatitis has not been reported in current Korean dermatologic literature to our knowledge. We report a case of a 60-year-old female patient presented with features of allergic contact dermatitis due to P. obconica. A patch test revealed positive reactions to crushed extracts of flowers of P. obconica.
