ABSTRACT
Background:
Corticosteroids (CS) are widely used in the treatment of asthma, allergic disorders and other immunological diseases due to their anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. Physicians seldom suspect them of causing allergic reactions. However, more and more cases of hypersensitivity reactions to CS have been described. Reports of delayed allergic reactions to CS in patients with asthma or allergic rhinitis are scarce. Material andmethods:
We report the case of a 44-year-old woman with a history of mild persistent asthma and intermittent allergic rhinitis, treated with inhaled beclomethasone and salbutamol, who developed a delayed mucocutaneous and respiratory reaction after substitution of beclomethasone with budesonide.Conclusions:
The interest of this case lies in the rarity of allergic reactions from inhaled CS in patients with asthma and/or rhinitis. These reactions therefore represent a diagnostic and therapeutic challengeRESUMEN
