Contact Hypersensitivity to European Baseline Series and Corticosteroid Series Haptens in a Population of Adult Patients with Contact Eczema

Contact eczema/dermatitis (CE) is one of the most frequent skin diseases. The disease is regarded as a reaction pattern. Usually many different stimuli can make the skin react in the same way, some of them may be in action at the same time. A golden standard in the allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) diagnosis are patch tests. Clinical observations show that the frequency of contact allergy to topical corticosteroids constantly increases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of contact allergy to European Standard Series and Corticosteroid Series haptens in the population of patients with CE.
