Abstract
Objective of the Review: To summarize data in the literature about the allergens that play the most significant role in the development of allergic vulvovaginitis and current approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of this condition. Key Points: Allergy plays an important role in the development of recurrent vulvovaginitis, but is often underestimated because it lacks pathognomic signs. Fungal and contact allergens are the most significant contributors. Exposure to food, injection, enteral and inhalation allergens can also cause allergic vulvovaginitis. Despite a wide range of available specific tests, the diagnosis of allergic inflammation of genital mucous membranes is difficult because there is no standardized examination algorithm for allergic vulvovaginitis. Conclusion: A detailed history, clinical examination, and highly sensitive laboratory tests will make it possible to choose the correct treatment and achieve a complete cure or sustained remission in patients with recurrent vulvovaginitis and pre-existing allergy problems. Keywords: allergic vulvovaginitis, recurrent vulvovaginitis.
