To evaluate eventual contact sensitization in 7 patients with plasma cell vulvitis (PCV).Seven women with PCV underwent patch tests with the Italian standard series and with additional batteries of allergens (perfumes, preservatives, emulsifiers, medicaments and corticosteroid series).One patient experienced a positive reaction t o balsam of Peru and wool alcohol.Patch testing is not normally necessary in the management of PCV. However, when a patient with PCV complains of burning or pruritus after application of topical products, patch tests could prove useful.
