Systemic corticosteroids rarely cause skin reactions, but injectable forms can lead to delayed hypersensitivity. This paper details two such cases, highlighting a rare adverse effect of systemic steroid therapy.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Dermatology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Corticosteroids are widely prescribed for various medical conditions.
  • Topical corticosteroids are frequently associated with allergic contact dermatitis.
  • Systemic corticosteroid-induced cutaneous reactions are considered uncommon.

Observation:

  • This paper reports two cases of adverse reactions following systemic corticosteroid administration.
  • The reactions observed were delayed hypersensitivity responses.
  • These reactions occurred after the use of injectable corticosteroid formulations.

Findings:

  • Injectable corticosteroids can precipitate delayed hypersensitivity reactions in susceptible individuals.
  • Cutaneous manifestations, though rare, are a potential adverse effect of systemic corticosteroid therapy.

  • The presented cases add to the limited literature on systemic corticosteroid-induced hypersensitivity.

    • Implications:

    • Clinicians should be aware of the potential for delayed hypersensitivity reactions to systemic corticosteroids.
    • Early recognition and diagnosis are crucial for managing these rare cutaneous adverse events.
    • Further research may elucidate the mechanisms underlying systemic corticosteroid hypersensitivity.
