title: [Importance of epicutaneous tests in drug allergy].
abstract: Epicutaneous tests do not permit resolution of all the problems set by drug allergy, but they are an important asset. Their value is sure when the pathology does not correspond precisely with a Gell and Coombes hypersensitisation classification, and especially when there is an interaction between several mechanisms. This presentation of five cases shows the value of these tests.
