Abstract | BACKGROUND: OBSERVATION: A 3-year old boy was treated for asthma by budesonide ( Pulmicort) and terbutaline ( Bricanyl) aerosols with an inhalation chamber (Babyhaler). From the fourth day of treatment onwards, his mother had swollen and itchy lesions on the face with conjunctivitis several hours after the administration of the corticosteroids using the inhalation chamber. The last eruptions were marked by extensive lesions. The patient reported a worsening of her eruption when she was treated with a desonide cream (Tridesonit). Prick-tests conducted later on confirmed the contact allergy to budesonide and Pulmicort spray. They were also positive for Tridesonit cream and triamcinolone acetonide. Repeated open application tests with a 17-butyrate hydrocortisone cream ( Locoid) for three weeks remainded negative. DISCUSSION:
