Prospective genetic screening decreases the incidence of Abacavir hypersensitivity reactions in the Western Australian HIV cohort study [PDF]
Abacavir therapy is associated with significant drug hypersensitivity in ∼8% of recipients, with retrospective studies indicating a strong genetic association with the HLA-B*5701 allelle.

Update on pathobiology in Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis
Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrosis (TEN) are rare but life-threatening severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs), which are mainly induced by a variety of drugs. Once considered to be unpredictable, significant progress has been

Practical Approach to Hypersensitivity to Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) in Children
Background: We aimed to assess the real-life prevalence, patient profile, and clinical presentation of drug hypersensitivity to NSAIDs in children after an incidence of an adverse event during treatment, verified by a drug challenge test.

The effects of coloring therapy on patients with generalized anxiety disorder
After the intervention, there were statistical differences intra‐and‐inter group comparisons of anxiety, depression, and positive and negative mood scales in the experimental and control groups (p < .05). The minus in anxiety/positive emotions pre‐and‐post intervention in the experimental group was statistically significant compared to the minus in ...

Diagnosis of non-immediate hypersensitivity to amoxicillin in children by skin test and drug provocation tests: A retrospective case-series study [PDF]
浜松医科大学博士(医学)doctoral医学系研究科Background: Skin rash often occurs upon oral administration of amoxicillin in children, due to non-immediate hypersensitivity. However, information on delayed hypersensitivity to amoxicillin is scarce.
