About

Background : Non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are responsible for 25% of reported adverse drug events which include immunological and non-immunological hypersensitivity reactions. NSAIDs have been reported to be the second most common cause of drug-induced hypersensitivity reaction (DHR). They are almost mandatory in a human life and therefore, the drug allergy work-up goes up until a DPT in order to confirm or rule out the diagnosis.

Objective: Detect eliciting dose thresholds during NSAIDs DPT in order to suggest optimal step doses and to describe subgroups at higher risk during the DPT

Methods:This retrospective study, using the survival analysis, comprised all patients who attended the allergy service of the UH of Montpellier from 1997 till 2017 with a clinical history related to NSAIDs DHR, who underwent NDAIDs DPT that turned positive and who gave their consent to be included in the study . The Patients are selected from the Drug Allergy & Hypersensitivity Database (DAHD).

Full description

DHRs to NSAIDs may be induced by both specific immunological mechanisms and mechanisms not based on immunological recognition (cross-hypersensitivity reactions [CRs]) .They are almost mandatory in a human life and therefore, the drug allergy work-up goes up until a DPT in order to confirm or rule out the diagnosis. Although the overall prevalence of NSAID hypersensitivity has been reported between 0.6 and 7% of the general population .

The NSAIDs-induced hypersensitivity reactions involve different mechanisms and present a wide range of clinical manifestations from anaphylaxis or severe bronchospasm developing within minutes after drug ingestion to non-immediate responses appearing after days and weeks This data-driven approach in designing the DPT protocol is the second step in improving DPT standardization, after BL antibiotics.
