Allergic cutaneous reactions to systemic corticosteroids

Ramirez R.; Brancaccio R.R.
Contact allergic reactions to topical corticosteroids are common. Cutaneous hypersensitivity reactions to systemically administered corticosteroids might occur though less frequently. The purpose of this literature review is to examine reported cases of cutaneous reactions to systemically administered corticosteroids. The data are presented considering route of administration, type of drug, type of reaction, and testing results. Corticosteroid classifications, cross-reactions, and allergy testing methods are also discussed

Cutaneous reactions to injectable corticosteroids [Case Report]

Amin, Nilam; Brancaccio, Ronald; Cohen, David

Contact allergy to food

Brancaccio, Ronald R; Alvarez, Marcy S
Contact allergies to foods, spices, and food additives can occur to individuals in the workplace or at home. Seven different reaction types have been described. These include irritant contact dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, contact urticaria, protein contact dermatitis, phototoxic contact dermatitis, photo-allergic contact dermatitis, and systemic contact dermatitis. The causes of each of these are reviewed and an approach to the diagnosis and management of contact allergy to foods, spices, and food additives is formulated

Photocontact allergy to diallyl disulfide [Case Report]

Alvarez, Marcy S; Jacobs, Stacy; Jiang, S Brian; Brancaccio, Ronald R; Soter, Nicholas A; Cohen, David E
Although phototoxic reactions to plants are common, photoallergic contact dermatitis to plants and plant products rarely occurs. Our objective was to review the importance of including diallyl disulfide in the evaluation of patients with suspected photosensitivity. Phototests for ultraviolet B, ultraviolet A, and visible light as well as patch tests and photopatch tests for 49 allergens from the New York University Skin and Cancer Unit Photopatch Test Series were performed. Three patients had positive photopatch-test results to diallyl disulfide, which is the allergen in garlic. The authors conclude that although photocontact allergy to diallyl disulfide is rare, this allergen should be included in photopatch-test series

Systemic contact dermatitis to doxepin [Case Report]

Brancaccio, Ronald R; Weinstein, Sari
Although allergic contact dermatitis to topical preparations of doxepin has been published, systemic contact dermatitis from oral doxepin is more of a theoretical consideration and is rarely reported. We report a case of a patient with contact allergy to doxepin hydrochloride 5% cream who developed a systemic contact dermatitis to oral doxepin

Identification and quantification of para-phenylenediamine in a temporary black henna tattoo [Case Report]

Brancaccio, Ronald R; Brown, Lance H; Chang, Young Tae; Fogelman, Joshua P; Mafong, Erick A; Cohen, David E
BACKGROUND: Temporary black henna tattoos are very popular as body adornment. Although contact allergy to natural henna is unusual, the inclusion of hair dye, p-phenylenediamine (PPD), increases the risk of contact sensitization. OBJECTIVE: This study was performed to identify the presence and concentration of PPD in a black henna tattoo mixture to which our patient developed contact allergy. METHODS: The presence of PPD in a black henna tattoo mixture, various samples of commercially available henna powders, and several hair dye products was qualitatively and quantitatively detected using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). RESULTS: This study demonstrated that PPD was present in the black henna tattoo mixture at a concentration of 15.7%, which is significantly higher than commercial hair dye preparations. CONCLUSION: The presence of PPD in black henna tattoo mixtures in high concentration poses a health hazard and a risk of allergic contact sensitization with potential long-term consequences

Are barrier creams actually effective?

Alvarez MS; Brown LH; Brancaccio RR
This article reviews the current information surrounding the efficacy of barrier creams as a protective measure against contact dermatitis. The principles of the proposed effects of barrier creams on the skin and the experimental and clinical data regarding their efficacy in the prevention of irritant and allergic contact dermatitis are discussed
