Abstract: Examines the value of patch tests (PT) and cross reactions among calcium channel blockers (CCB) by performing drug skin tests in four patients who had developed a maculopapular rash (MPR) eight to 12 days after the beginning of a treatment with diltiazem. Suggested guidelines following the division of CCB into dihydropyridines and nondihydropyridines.
