We report the case of a female denture wearer who was referred to our service due to burning of the lips and tongue but with no visible oral lesions. Her biochemical data, complete blood cell count, sedimentation rate, thyroid and sex hormones were normal. Tongue culture was negative. Patch tests, performed with a panel of 20 potential denture allergens, gave positive results (+++) only to a 2% petrolatum cadmium sulfate, which was present in the denture. Removal of the denture led to the clearing up of oral symptoms in 3 days. In light of these findings, carrying out patch tests with the allergens related to denture materials should be considered in these cases.
我们报告了一例女性假牙佩戴者的病例,该患者因嘴唇和舌头灼痛前来就诊,但口腔无明显病变。她的生化数据、全血细胞计数、血沉、甲状腺及性激素均正常。舌部培养结果为阴性。使用一组20种潜在假牙过敏原进行斑贴试验,结果仅对假牙中含有的2%凡士林硫酸镉呈强阳性(+++)。摘除假牙后3天,口腔症状消失。鉴于这些发现,对于此类病例,应考虑使用与假牙材料相关的过敏原进行斑贴试验。
