DRUG ALLERGY WITH CUTANEOUS MANIFESTATIONS - DIAGNOSTIC APPROACH
Antunes, João; Brás, Susana; Prates, Sara; Amaro, Cristina; Leiria-Pinto, PaulaAdverse drug reactions constitute a major health problem in clinical practice. Drug allergy is defined as an immunologically mediated hypersensitivity reaction and represents 6-10% of all adverse drug reactions. Cli- nically, drug-induced allergic reactions can be classified as immediate (type I) and non-immediate (heterogeneous clinical manifestations, mostly related to type IV reactions). Several issues are c...
