COUTINHO, Iolanda Alen et al. Hypersensitivity to corticosteroids - A review. Rev Port Imunoalergologia [online]. 2020, vol.28, n.3, pp.149-160. ISSN 0871-9721. https://doi.org/10.32932/rpia.2020.09.039.
Corticosteroids are anti-inflammatory drugs widely used in clinical practice. Hypersensitivity reactions, with immediate or late presentation, have been increasingly described in the literature. Hypersensitivity reactions may occur due to the corticosteroid or due to the excipients used in its preparation. Skin tests may aid in the diagnostic confirmation and in the identification of an alternative therapeutic agent. Our objective is to review current knowledge about the clinical presentation, evaluation and diagnostic approach of immediate and delayed hypersensitivity reactions to corticosteroids.
