Sodium fusidate, obtained by fermentation of the fungus, Fusidium coccineum, has a steroid structure and shows a very high antitaphycoccal activity. The allergic potentirl of sodium fusidate is low and few cases of contact allergy to sodium fusidate have been reported. We present two cases of allergic contact dermatitis to Fucidin cintentione developed postoperative dressing of a skin biopsy and the other after laser treatment of a vascular nevi. The patch test results showed positive reaction to sodium fusidate in both cases. (Kor J Dermatol 1993;31(6):944-947)
