A high prevalence of sensitization still persists in leg ulcer patients: a retrospective series of 106 patients tested between 2001 and 2002 and a meta-analysis of 1975-2003 data

Abstract: Despite warnings, sensitization to topical treatments for leg ulcers is still frequent and, moreover, continues to increase, some variations reflecting local nursing practices and variations in topical treatment available. Although a decrease in sensitization rate with lanolin has been observed throughout the world, no decrease in sensitization rate has been demonstrated with aminoglycosides, and sensitization to glucocorticoids, thiuram mix and new products (hydrogels) is now increasingly being reported.

“…Bizim çalışmamızda da alt ekstremitede lezyonları olan hastalarda topikal ilaç duyarlanma sıklığı (%55,4) diğer bölgelere göre anlamlı derecede yüksek bulundu. Venöz staz ve bacak ülserli hastalarda uygulanan herhangi bir ürüne karşı AKD gelişimi sık (%50-85) olarak bildirilmektedir [18][19][20][21][22] . Bozulmuş deri bariyeri, ilacın uzamış kullanımı ve bacak ülserlerinde uygulanan oklüzif tedaviler bu hasta gruplarında AKD gelişme riskini artırmaktadır 8,23,24 .…”
