Resumo

Objetivo: Avaliar a sensibilização a corticoides tópicos e substâncias do teste de contato padrão e cosméticos em pacientes com dermatite atópica (DA) no Serviço de Alergia e Imunologia do HSPE-SP. Método: Estudo retrospectivo com análise de prontuário de pacientes com DA, classificados de acordo com o SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) em leve, moderada e grave, que foram atendidos no ambulatório de Alergia e Imunologia do HSPE-SP, submetidos a teste de contato com baterias padrão, cosméticos, corticoides, incluindo furoato de mometasona. Resultados: Após análise estatística dos dados de 51 pacientes portadores de DA, foi identificada maior prevalência no gênero feminino (73%). Pacientes com DA moderada/grave apresentaram maior positividade (62%) para pelo menos uma substância. Foram mais propensos a positivar para teste de contato, pacientes maiores de 18 anos. As substâncias que foram mais positivas na bateria padrão foram: sulfato de níquel (33%), neomicina (10%), e bicromato de potássio e cloreto de cobalto (8% cada). O sulfato de níquel foi mais positivo no gênero feminino. Três (5,9%) pacientes apresentaram positividade para teste de contato com bateria de corticoides, sendo positivas substâncias betametasona 1%, budesonida 0,01% e butirato de hidrocortisona 1%, e todos eram portadores de DA leve. Foi identificada relação entre positividade para bateria de corticoides e sulfato de níquel. Conclusão: Os testes de contato foram mais positivos em adultos. Houve maior sensibilidade para o sulfato de níquel no gênero feminino. Sensibilidade importante à neomicina na DA moderada/grave. Pacientes com alergia de contato por corticoides podem apresentar alergia a sulfato de níquel. Esse trabalho chama atenção para a porcentagem importante de pacientes com DA acometidos por alergia de contato por corticoides, sendo esse tipo alergia um problema emergente e que tem sido cada vez mais relatado na última década; porém, ainda são escassos os estudos envolvendo esse assunto.

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate sensitization to topical corticosteroids and standard patch testing substances in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) at the HSPE-SP Allergy and Immunology Department. Methods: This retrospective study assessed medical records of patients with AD, whose severity was classified as mild, moderate or severe according to SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD). They were seen at the HSPE-SP Allergy and Immunology outpatient clinic and underwent a patch test with the following series: standard, cosmetics, and corticosteroids, including mometasone furoate. Results: After statistical analysis of data from 51 patients with AD, a higher prevalence was identified in female participants (73%). Patients with moderate-to-severe AD had more positive results (62%) for at least one substance. Patients older than 18 years were more likely to be positive in the patch test. The substances that were most frequently positive in the standard series were nickel sulfate (33%), neomycin (10%) and potassium dichromate and cobalt chloride (8% each). Positive nickel sulfate was more common in female participants. Three (5.9%) patients were positive for corticosteroids (1% betamethasone, 0.01% budesonide and 1% hydrocortisone butyrate) and all had mild AD. A relationship between positivity for corticosteroid series and nickel sulfate was identified. Conclusion: Patch tests were more frequently positive in adults. There was higher sensitivity to nickel sulfate in female patients. There was important sensitivity to neomycin in patients with moderate-to-severe AD. Patients with corticosteroid contact allergy may present with allergy to nickel sulfate. This paper draws attention to the important percentage of patients with AD affected by corticosteroid contact allergy, which has become an emerging problem that has been increasingly reported in the past decade. However, there are still few studies addressing this topic.
