Background: Little is known about the diagnostic approaches for immediate hypersensitivity reactions (IHRs) due to 5‐nitroimidazole antibiotics. The aim was to evaluate the usefulness of in vivo tests and basophil activation test (BAT) for the diagnosis of IHRs due to metronidazole and ornidazole and to determine possible cross‐reactivity in between. Methods: Forty‐nine patients with a clear history of IHRs due to these drugs and 20 healthy subjects who were known to tolerate these drugs were included. Skin tests (STs) and single‐blind placebo‐controlled drug provocation tests (SBPCDPTs) were performed with both drugs whereas BAT was applied only with the culprit drug. Results: The most and least common reaction types were urticaria/angioedema (34.7%) and anaphylaxis (14.3%), respectively. SBPCDPTs were positive in 15 out of 47 patients, and only 7 had positive STs. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of STs for metronidazole/ornidazole were 33.3%/16.6%, 94.2%/97.3%, 60%/50%, and 84.6%/88.1%, respectively. BAT was positive in 12 out of 15 patients and negative in 10 control subjects, giving a sensitivity rate of 71.4% (CI, 29.0%‐96.3%) for metronidazole and 83.3% (CI, 35.8%‐99.5%) for ornidazole. The optimal concentration of both drugs for BAT was determined as 5 mg/mL. No cross‐reactivity among two drugs was observed according to in vivo tests. Conclusions: Our study showed that SBPCDPT and BAT are both useful diagnostic tools for IHRs due to 5‐nitroimidazole antibiotics and can be used as supplementary to each other. No cross‐reactivity between metronidazole and ornidazole in IHRs exists. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
