During the last years of his life, Oscar Wilde (1856-1900) suffered from a suppurating otitis media as well as from an unidentified skin disease. The eruption was localized to his face, arms, chest and back and itched severely. A new theory is suggested, based on the fact that Wilde almost certainly used a dye to conceal his rapidly graying hair. He sensitized himself to p-phenylenediamine and developed a stubborn allergic contact dermatitis. Patch testing, the only proof of such a diagnosis, had not yet been devised.
在奥斯卡·王尔德（1856 - 1900）生命的最后几年里，他患有化脓性中耳炎以及一种不明的皮肤病。皮疹局限于他的面部、手臂、胸部和背部，且奇痒无比。基于王尔德几乎肯定使用了一种染料来掩盖他迅速变白的头发这一事实，提出了一种新理论。他对对苯二胺过敏，从而患上了顽固的过敏性接触性皮炎。斑贴试验是这种诊断的唯一证据，但当时尚未发明出来。
