Abstract

Epidemiological data on drug hypersensitivity are variable, the prevalence being generally higher in women, adults and inpatients. Although drug hypersensitivity reactions have a significant impact on clinical practice and health costs, pharmacoepidemiological studies are currently limited. Drug hypersensitivity is most commonly attributed to beta-lactam antibiotics and COX non-selective non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Collecting more accurate epidemiological data is needed to support the quality management of patients with drug allergy, and to facilitate optimal health decisions.
