Drug allergies in children

Abstract

Drug allergy when compared with other allergic diseases can be the cause of most serious reactions and in the absence of true diagnosis fatal outcome can be accepted In clinical practice a wide range of symptoms from mild urticaria to anaphylaxis can be seen so that it can mimic the symptoms of all allergic disease One of the significant consequences of allergic drug reactions is causing the use of less effective more expensive or more toxic drugs in the future A thorough history is essential to the management of drug allergy Laboratory testing has a very limited role in the management of drug allergy Confirmatory tests if avaliable should be used to determine the allergic status of the patient If these tests are not avaliable depending on the type of clinical reaction previously demonstrated a graded challenge or desensitization may be considered Education of the patient and primary care physician is an important component of management Turk Arch Ped 2012; 47: 84 9

Öz

İlaç alerjisi diğer alerjik hastalıklar ile karşılaştırıldığında en ağır klinik tabloya sebep olabilen dolayısı ile ihmalinde hayatı tehdit edebilen çok önemli bir durumdur Kliniği hafif bir ürtikerden anafilaksiye kadar geniş bir aralıkta görülerek diğer bütün alerjik hastalıkların bulgularını gösterebilir Alerjik ilaç reaksiyonlarının önemli sonuçlarından biri ileride daha az etkili daha pahalı veya daha toksik ilaçların kullanımına neden olmasıdır Eksiksiz bir hikaye tedavi yaklaşımında çok önemlidir Laboratuvar testlerinin ilaç alerjisi yönetimindeki rolü çok sınırlıdır Tanıyı doğrulayıcı testler varsa hastaların alerjik durumunu saptamak için uygulanmalıdır Bu testler yoksa önceki reaksiyona bağlı olarak aşamalı uyarı ve duyarsızlaşma uygulanabilir Hasta ve hekimin eğitimi tedavinin önemli bir parçasıdır.
