Tests were done in the following chronology: LTT → Prick test (non-diluted PPL) → Intradermal test (1:100 dilution of PPL, 1:10 dilution of PPL, non-diluted PPL) → Prick test (non-diluted MDM) → Intradermal test (1:100 dilution of MDM, 1:10 dilution of MDM, non-diluted MDM) → Patch test (culprit drug).
