Abstract

Patch-tests (PT) are usually safe. Complications are quite rare, and immediate anaphylactoid reactions are exceptional We report a case of a 38-year-old woman, who presented late toxidermia after celecoxib use, and then was explored by PT three months later. This PT was performed with celecoxib diluted to 30%. The patient developed twenty minutes later general itchy erythema, which regressed in an hour, under anti-histamine treatment. This case leads to reconsider possible immediate complications after PT and therefore increase vigilance for at least 30 minutes after patchingPT: Punch Tool; VSS: Vancouver Scar Scale; PDO: Polydioxanone.
