PEG sensitivity was almost exclusively related to nitrofurazone allergy. Patch test reactions to PG were currently relevant mainly with regard to the use of minoxidil, and antiherpetic or corticosteroid creams. Ten patients (25%) had concomitant contact allergies to various topical drugs containing mainly PEGs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>PEG sensitivity seems to be a marker for contact allergy to topical nitrofurazone in Turkey. Nitrofurazone allergy appears to favour concomitant sensitization to PEG. We would suggest the inclusion of PEG in an extended baseline patch test series in Turkey. Late patch test readings are important to diagnose delayed positive reactions to PEG.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/cod.12931","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,29]],"date-time":"2017-11-29T15:27:31Z","timestamp":1511969251000},"page":"211-215","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Polyethylene glycol as marker for nitrofurazone allergy: 20\u2009years of experience from Turkey"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"78","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9585-9509","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Esen","family":"\u00d6zkaya","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology and Venereology \u0130stanbul University, \u0130stanbul Medical Faculty  34093 \u00c7apa\u2010\u0130stanbul Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7484-5530","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"S\u0131la","family":"K\u0131l\u0131\u00e7","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology and Venereology \u0130stanbul University, \u0130stanbul Medical Faculty  34093 \u00c7apa\u2010\u0130stanbul Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/cod.12432"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","first-page":"79","article-title":"Criteria of atopic skin diathesis","volume":"39","author":"Diepgen T L","year":"1991","journal-title":"Derm Beruf Umwelt"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0536.2012.02104.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13223-016-0172-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0536.1994.tb00712.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","first-page":"385","article-title":"Contact allergies to polyethylene glycols","volume":"44","author":"Braun W","year":"1969","journal-title":"Z Haut Geschlechtskr"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","first-page":"252","article-title":"Allergy against components of medical and cosmetic external preparations.
