EYELID DERMATITIS – 5-YEAR RETROSPECTIVE STUDY (2009-2013)
Abstract
Background: Eyelid dermatitis is a common disease and its etiology frequently difficult to ascertain, although allergic contact dermatitis is the most common cause in patch-tested patients. This is a 5-year retrospective study to evaluate the most frequent causes and allergens in patients with allergic eyelid dermatitis.
Materials and Methods: Using a computerized database, patients with eyelid dermatitis patch tested over a 5-year period from 2009-2013 on the Dermatology Consultation of Hospital Curry Cabral were identified.
Results: Over the 5-year period (2009-2013) from a total of 1341 patch tested patients, 117 (8.7%) had eyelid dermatitis. The most frequent etiology was allergic eyelid dermatitis (54 patients), followed by atopic dermatitis (22 patients). Toluenesulfonamide Formaldehyde resin was the most frequent allergen identified. The preservative allergens group was the most frequently identified, followed by fragrances and drugs.
