• Resumen

  • Importance Dermatologists frequently encounter patients of advanced age presenting with chronic eczematous eruptions of uncertain etiology. When a drug-induced cutaneous eruption is suspected, identifying the responsible drug(s) is a complex clinical challenge.

    Objective To determine whether certain drug classes, and in particular calcium channel blockers, are associated with chronic eczematous eruptions in the aging (CEEA) in the United States.

    Design Retrospective case-control study.

    Setting Ambulatory patients from the Department of Dermatology, University of Utah School of Medicine, Salt Lake City.
