Abstract
We report a patient with contact stomatitis due to combined sensitizat ion to palladium and platinum. Patch testing showed strong and persist ent allergic patch test reactions to palladium chloride (1% pet.), amm onium tetrachloroplatinate (0.25% pet.), and a palladium metal plate. A platinum metal plate showed a weaker reaction. Histological examinat ion of a biopsy from the test site of palladium chloride (1% pet.) at D3 showed both eczematous and lichenoid changes.
