Article Synopsis
  • Existing research has raised concerns about the effectiveness of patch testing (PT) for detecting drug hypersensitivity specifically related to cotrimoxazole (CTX).
  • This study aimed to evaluate how sensitive PT with CTX is for diagnosing non-immediate cutaneous adverse drug reactions (CADR) among patients.
  • The results revealed that there were no significant positive reactions to CTX in patch tests, indicating that this testing method may not be reliable for diagnosing CTX-related CADR, signaling a need for careful interpretation by clinicians.
