23 patients who had used silver sulfadiazine cream were patch tested. No react ions to the active principle occurred but 2 vehicle components, cetyl alcohol and propylene glycol were positive. No sulfonamide‐sensitive subject raided to silver sulfadiazine. There is no evidence that silver sulfadiazine has a contact sensitizing potential or that it is contra‐indicated for patients with a history of sulfonamide hypersensitivity.
