As a complementary study to a previous work (14) in which we examined 43 cases of @entity5526 to plants, we have taken a closer look at the provocative cases which made up 76% of that study - Allium (garlic) (11 cases), Primula (8), Frullania (8) and Compositae (6). The clinical methodology, preparation of extracts and execution of the skin tests were identical to those described in the previous study (14). @entity1 with sensitivity to Frullania and Compositae were submitted to standard skin tests as shown in table II. These @entity1 were also tested with a 0.1% preparation of Helenin in vaseline. The eleven cases of sensitization to Allium sativum L (garlic) corresponded to @entity1 whose primary or secondary profession was that of a housewife. In each case, the reaction was in the form of @entity11624 , typically affecting the thumbs, left middle and index fingers and right thumb, which are those that have the greatest contact with the garlic bulb. Primula obconica Hance was responsible for the sensitization of 7 @entity1 and 1 @entity1 . In two of the @entity1 , the positive test result was unrelated to the clinical picture for which the @entity1 sought medical attention. In one of the two cases, the @entity1 had had prolonged, previous contact with Primula but without reaction. In the other case, the origin of the reaction could not be established. The @entity5526 produced by Primula are located principally in the face and hands.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
