Allergic contact dermatitis to some medicaments.

G Angelini, G A Vena, C L Meneghini

    Contact Dermatitis
    |May 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    The most common causes of allergic contact dermatitis from topical drugs have shifted over time. Neomycin, benzocaine, and ethylenediamine are now leading sensitizers, replacing older allergens like penicillin and sulfonamides.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Allergology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is a significant skin reaction.
    • The prevalence of specific topical drug allergens has evolved.
    • Identifying current common sensitizers is crucial for clinical practice.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To update the list of the most frequent topical drug sensitizers.
    • To compare current sensitizers with historical data.
    • To identify emerging allergens in contact dermatitis.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of trends in topical drug-induced allergic contact dermatitis.
    • Review of common sensitizers in Italy over different time periods.
    • Identification of shifts in allergen prevalence.

    Main Results:

    • Historically common sensitizers like penicillin and sulfonamides are less frequent.
    • Neomycin, benzocaine, and ethylenediamine are now the leading topical allergens.
    • Antihistamines and parabens are less frequently implicated.

    Conclusions:

    • The spectrum of common topical allergens causing ACD has changed.
    • Emerging allergens include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents, antimycotics, propylene glycol, and benzoyl peroxide.
    • Continuous monitoring of allergen prevalence is essential for managing ACD.
