Erythema multiforme is a rare adverse reaction that can occur following patch testing. This case highlights its potential development, even without exacerbation of existing lesions during sequential testing.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Allergy and Immunology

Background:

  • Patch testing is a standard diagnostic tool for allergic contact dermatitis.
  • Erythema multiforme is an uncommon mucocutaneous reaction pattern.

Observation:

  • A young woman presented with erythema multiforme after undergoing patch testing.
  • Sequential patch testing identified true positive reactions to colophony and fragrance mix.

Findings:

  • The erythema multiforme did not flare during the sequential patch testing process.
  • This suggests a potential, though rare, association between patch testing and erythema multiforme development.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should consider erythema multiforme in the differential diagnosis of adverse reactions to patch testing.

  • Further investigation may be warranted to understand the specific mechanisms and prevalence of this rare complication.
