[Manifestation of anxiety due to allergy to medication]

In the Allergic Service of a General Hospital state anxiety was assessed in two groups of patient: one of them with drug hypersensitivity and another one with allergic rhinitis. This study supports the view that irritability, apprehensive expectation aggressiveness positive response placebos of the patient with adverse drug effects, before the diagnosis test, could be related to a high level of anxiety. The Spielberg's state trait Anxiety Inventory was used to assess anxiety. Finally we observed that both groups have a high level of anxiety. This is why we could have to take in consideration other determinant factors of the irritability, aggressiveness and impatience reactions of the drug hypersensitivity patients.
