The patch test results of hi patients allergic lo at least 1 corticosteroid molecule are presented. These contact allergies were detected by testing with several corticosteroid s included in our standard patch test series between February 1988 and December 1990. Whenever possible, further investigations were conducted by means of a more complete corticosteroid series. We (mind corticosteroids to be the 7th most frequent allergen, positive results being obtained in 2.9% of all patients referred to our contact dermatitis unit.
