| Description | Two cases of positive allergy reactions to eight patch tested corticosteroid substances are reported. The patients were middle - aged women with a long history of contact dermatitis who had used topical corticosteroids for years. Pure corticosteroid substances were tested in therapeitic and 1% concentrations in ethanol and petrolatum. The intensity of reactions was different depending on the vehicle and concentration. Pantients with hypersensitivity to several corticosteroid substances represent an important theprapeitic problem. |
