Management of corticosteroid (CS) hypersensitivity is not easy, and the choice of an alternative CS is difficult, owing to the high frequency of cross-reactions. Deflazacort has been reported to be a safe alternative in subjects with CS hypersensitivity (1), and reports of deflazacort hypersensitivity are rare (2–7). Here, we report a difficult-to-manage case of systemic allergic dermatitis caused by deflazacort.
