Drug allergy is a significant cause of severe adverse drug reactions. Understanding immunological mechanisms and improving diagnostic tests are crucial for better patient management and pharmacovigilance.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Pharmacology
  • Public Health

Context:

  • Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are a significant concern in healthcare.
  • Drug allergy accounts for one-third of ADRs, presenting a substantial public health challenge.
  • Recent literature highlights the complexity of drug allergy mechanisms.

Purpose:

  • To review recent literature on drug allergy.
  • To provide physicians with a better understanding of drug allergy.
  • To inform about immunological mechanisms, epidemiology, and clinical evaluation of drug allergy.

Summary:

  • Allergic reactions are a major component of ADRs, associated with high morbidity and mortality.
  • While Gell and Coombs' classification is useful, many drug allergies lack clear mechanistic understanding.
