Although allergic drug reactions are just one type of adverse reaction to medications, they are clinically very important because of the morbidity and mortality they cause. An ever-expanding pharmacopeia increases the potential for allergic drug reactions. An understanding of the types of allergic drug reactions, their immunopathologic mechanisms, and the most likely medications involved; an approach to determine the drug responsible for the reaction; and ways to prevent future allergic drug reactions are important features in minimizing patient morbidity. |
