title: [Measurement of mediators in drug allergies. Preliminary study].
abstract: Drug allergy is still a region where diagnosis remains difficult. It relies on clinical history, sometimes skin tests and lymphoblast transformation tests, though only when the antigen is soluble. Provocation tests may, if there is a doubt, prove the involvement of the drug. It may be made objective by the measurement of mediators: ECD and tryptase, thus showing the involvement of eosinophils and mastocytes. Should change in these mediators be associated with a syndromic reaction or is it on its own, a diagnostic factor? A complementary study with a reference group, on a sufficient number of patients has allowed, with the assistance of a statistical analysis, better objectivity from the results.
