Ultrasound assessment of reactive lymphadenopathies due to extreme reactions from patch tests

Abstract

suppressing calcineurin phosphatase required for IL-2 synthesis. 8 It also inhibits the release of other inflammatory cytokines, including the ones secreted by various antigen-presenting cells, mast cells, and cells involved in the inflammatory cascade. 9 Therefore, it has been shown to be beneficial in patients of Parthenium dermatitis. In our study, a rapid response to dermatitis with disease remission was achieved in all the patients with ciclosporin and there were no clinical or biochemical adverse effects. Thus, ciclosporin appears to be an effective drug in treatment of patients with Parthenium dermatitis, particularly when corticosteroids and azathioprine are contraindicated. However, further controlled trials with a larger sample size are required to establish its effectiveness and safety in these patients.

2‐Hydroxyethyl methacrylate (2‐HEMA) sensitization, a global epidemic at its peak in Spain?

“…Two of them never used manicure materials with acrylates (previously published). 26,27 Incontinence pads have been described as possible causes of eczema in (meth)acrylate-sensitized patients. [28][29][30][31] One patient developed scaly eczematous fingertip reactions following contact with glues and different materials while making miniature models.…”

“…Five patients recalled genital pruritus or eczema from superabsorbent materials (sanitary napkins and incontinence pads). Two of them never used manicure materials with acrylates (previously published) 26,27 . Incontinence pads have been described as possible causes of eczema in (meth)acrylate‐sensitized patients 28–31 .…”
