  • Title: Drug allergy. Best diagnostic and treatment approaches.
    Author: Volz MA, Nelson HS.
    Journal: Postgrad Med; 1990 Apr; 87(5):137-42, 149. PubMed ID: 2181423.
    Abstract:
    The problems in identifying and managing drug allergy are myriad, primarily because of the number of possible agents involved, the lack of objective diagnostic methods, and the varied signs and symptoms that may occur. Allergic reactions can be life-threatening and are avoidable in most cases. A careful and serious approach is important because the effect of medical decisions can be significant. Physicians should keep in mind that an allergic reaction to any drug can occur in any patient at any time.
