This report describes five bronchial asthmatic patients who had asthmatic attacks following administrations of steroidal products. Case 1 was 62 years-old male with asthmatic attack provocated by hydrocortisone disodium phosphate (Hydrocortone Phosphate Injection®). Case 2 was 62 years-old male with asthmatic attack provocated by hydrocortisone sodium succinate (Saxizon®). Case 3, 4 and 5 were 55 years-old male, 47 years-old female and 35 years-old male with asthmatic attacks provocated by steroidal products (Solu-Cortef®) These three cases were aspirin-induced asthma. Although these types of adverse reactions to steroidal products are rare, it is very important in allergy practice.
