Abstract
Three patients with different neurological disorders occurring as complications of steroid [methylprednisolone, tetracosactrin] therapy are described. Immunological studies revealed positive responses to the steroids in 2 cases. This report confirms previous evidence of steroid hypersensitivity and shows that the nervous system may be involved in the allergic reaction.Keywords
