Drug allergy

Allergy and Asthma Proceedings, 2019
Drug allergy describes clinical adverse reactions that are proved or presumed to be immunologically based. Allergic drug reactions do not resemble pharmacologic actions of the incriminated drug and may occur at fractions of what would be the therapeutic dosage.

THE seventeenth century must have been the nadir of therapeutics, if we can believe Moliere, for one of his characters remarks: "Almost everyone dies of the remedy, not the malady." Fortunately, si...

Drug Allergy

Allergy and Asthma Proceedings, 1990
Undesirable or adverse drug effects occur with 1-15% of drug doses. The mechanisms of these reactions are not always known; however, 5-10% are immunologically mediated allergic reactions. Risk factors for allergic drug reactions include age, type of drug, degree of exposure, and route of administration.

Drug allergy

Current Opinion in Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2001
Drug allergies can cause a great variety of symptoms and can thus imitate various diseases, like in previous times the lues. Drug allergies can be classified into three subgroups, which differ in their pathophysiology and require different diagnostic steps: firstly, classical drug allergies which are directed to the drug itself, a reactive compound of ...

Drug allergy

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2010
Drug allergy is one type of adverse reaction to drugs and encompasses a spectrum of hypersensitivity reactions with heterogeneous mechanisms and clinical presentations. A thorough history is essential to the management of drug allergy. Laboratory testing has a very limited role in the management of drug allergy. Graded dose challenges and procedures to

DRUG ALLERGIES

Primary Care: Clinics in Office Practice, 1998
Allergic drug reactions are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Because it is difficult to identify the culprit drug and the underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms involved in these reactions, a systematic approach should be adopted in the evaluation of drug-allergic patients. Initially, the type of reaction should be determined.

HIV and drug allergy

Current Opinion in Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2001
Drug-related rashes have been estimated to be 100 times more common in HIV-positive patients than in the general population. The reasons for this are not clear, but are likely to be multifactorial, and include changes in drug metabolism, oxidative stress, cytokine profiles and immune hyperactivation.

Epidemiology of drug allergy

Current Opinion in Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2001
Adverse drug reactions occur in 10-20% of hospitalized patients, and up to one-third of these are of an allergic or pseudo-allergic nature. Allergic reactions are unpredictable adverse effects that are linked to immunological mechanisms. Pseudo-allergic reactions are unpredictable adverse reactions that are clinically similar to allergic reactions, but
