Background: Antibiotics have been implicated in the reactivation of exanthema and systemic involvement in drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS); however, it is not clear whether these patients become sensitized to the antibiotic.Objective: To evaluate if, after DRESS, patients become sensitized to antibiotics.
Methods:We retrospectively reviewed the patch test (PT) data and clinical files of DRESS patients who were administered antibiotics during DRESS from other culprits.
Although ACD caused by dexpanthenol is considered to be rare, it may be frequently overlooked. As we found a relatively high frequency of relevant cases, in agreement with a previous study, the inclusion of dexpanthenol in patch test series, at least in cosmetic and topical drug series, is encouraged.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
