Prevalence of contact allergy to corticosteroids in a Danish patient population.

The prevalence of corticosteroid sensitization was 2.7%. Age was the only risk factor for corticosteroid sensitization. The frequency of corticosteroid sensitization was stabile over time except for tixocortol-21-pivalate sensitization for women. About one third of sensitized patients had co-sensitizations to other corticosteroid groups.
