Rapid desensitization for hypersensitivity reactions to medications.

30 Jul 2009 Drug desensitization is the induction of temporary clinical unresponsiveness to drug antigens to which patients have presented severe hypersensitivity reactions. It is typically achieved by gradual reintroduction of small doses of drug antigens at ... Read more...

In vitro tests in drug hypersensitivity diagnosis.

30 Jul 2009 The diagnosis of a drug hypersensitivity reaction (DHR) is a challenging task because multiple and complex mechanisms are involved. Better understanding of immunologic pathomechanisms in DHRs and rapid progress in cellular-based in-vitro tests can ... Read more...

Skin testing in delayed reactions to drugs.

30 Jul 2009 Drug skin tests (eg, patch tests, prick tests with delayed readings, intradermal tests [IDT], especially with delayed readings) are used to investigate cutaneous adverse drug reactions (CADR) in delayed hypersensitivity reactions caused by a ... Read more...
