Pharmacological prevention of delayed hypersensitivity reactions caused by iodinated contrast media

World Allergy Organization Journal, 2021
Background: Delayed hypersensitivity reactions (DHRs) to radiocontrast media (RCM) occur in approximately 0.5–23.0% of patients and are thought to be caused by T cell-mediated mechanisms. However, an optimal pharmacological preventive strategy is not yet
