Abstract

BACKGROUND: Identifying the drug(s) responsible for drug-induced chronic eczematous eruptions of aging individuals (CEEA) is a clinical challenge in patients on multiple medications. Reliable

METHODS: This was a single center, proof-of-concept pilot study at the University of Utah Hospital, Salt Lake City, Utah. Eight aging study subjects having a history suggestive of chronic eczematous drug eruptions suspected to have resulted from calcium channel blocker (CCB) and/or hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) hypersensitivity plus three matched aging control subjects were identified. Drug patch testing for CCB and/or HCTZ,

RESULTS: All study and control subject blood samples tested failed to demonstrate detectable enhanced lymphocyte proliferation or cytokine release to

CONCLUSIONS: This pilot study aimed to correlate
