  • Title: Contact dermatitis due to budesonide: report of five cases and review of the Japanese literature.
    Author: Okano M.
    Journal: Int J Dermatol; 1994 Oct; 33(10):709-15. PubMed ID: 8002140.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Contact allergy to corticosteroids has recently gained increased attention. METHODS: Five cases of contact dermatitis due to budesonide, a nonhalogenated steroid, are described. The Japanese literature was reviewed for reports on this allergy, and the occurrence due to budesonide was compared with that of other dermocorticosteroids. RESULTS: Budesonide use can cause contact dermatitis. CONCLUSIONS: Although budesonide may be beneficial because of its anti-inflammatory effects, clinicians should be alert to its potential for causing contact dermatitis.
