Delayed hypersensitivity stomatitis due to therapeutic propolis - case report

A 20-year old woman was referred with erosions partially covered with pseudomembranes that involved both lips and oral mucosa and developed ten days after self-prescribed topical use of propolis solution for the treatment of recurrent aphthous stomatitis. Patch tests were performed and a strong positive reaction to propolis was shown. This case emphasizes antigenic potential of propolis and suggests that it should be used carefully as topical agent in the treatment of oral diseases.
