Anaphylactic response to hydrocortisone in childhood: a case report.
Anaphylactic reactions to hydrocortisone have been well described in adults, but have not been reported in children. We wish to report such a reaction in a 6-year-old girl who had a positive intradermal reaction to methylprednisolone. Control subjects were non-reactive. Previous literature is briefly reviewed and discussed.
