Abstract
We report a unique patient with true asymmetrical hypersensitivity to bovine collagen. Hypersensitivity is the development of an inflammatory response at a treatment site after a negative skin test. She developed an inflammatory response in only one of two simultaneously injected sites. About 1.5% of patients with a negative skin test have a hypersensitivity reaction consisting of firmness, erythema, and swelling. The signs and symptoms generally resolve spontaneously in a few months. Somerville P, Wray RC Jr. Asymmetrical hypersensitivity to bovine collagen. Ann Plast Surg 1993;30:449–451Keywords
