Drug-Induced Anaphylaxis: An Update on Epidemiology and Risk Factors
Regateiro, FS; Marques, ML; Gomes, ERDrug hypersensitivity is one of the most frequent causes of anaphylaxis, particularly in adults and in hospitalized patients. Drug-induced anaphylaxis (DIA) is also associated with more severe outcomes than other anaphylaxis triggers, and drugs are responsible for the majority of deaths due to anaphylaxis. We here review the current knowledge on the incidence, prevalence, drugs involved, mortality, and mortalit...
Short and extended provocation tests have similar negative predictive value in ...
Regateiro, FS; Rezende, I; Pinto, N; Abreu, C; Carreiro-Martins, P; Gomes, ERIntroduction and objectives: Drug provocation tests (DPTs) are the gold-standard method to diagnose non-immediate hypersensitivity reactions (NIHSR) to beta-lactam antibiotics (BL) in children. Our aim was to compare the negative predictive value (NPV) of one-day (short) DPT versus 3-7 days (extended) DPT for the diagnosis of NIHSR to BL in paediatric age. A secondary aim was to compare confidence on drug re-ex...
