title: [Drug allergy].
abstract: Drug hypersensitivity results from interactions between a pharmacologic agent and the human immune system. However, some reactions involve additional, poorly-understood, non-immunological mechanisms. The clinical picture is usually very similar to that of real allergic reactions and the therapeutic possibilities are also the same. The clinical symptoms (aspecific symptoms, special diseases, fixed drug eruption, and drug-induced internal symptoms), and the therapeutic and diagnostic possibilities are reported.
