title: [Diagnostic methods in drug allergies].
abstract: Immunological exploration of a patient following an allergic complication is based on tests in vitro, which are free of danger. At the present time it remains very difficult, on the one hand on the basis of the antigenic radicle responsible, secondly because of the characteristics of the immune response which it induces. The aim of exploration is the objective demonstration, using several techniques, of an immune response directed specifically against the medication. The pathological significance of this response must be analysed in each case.
