title: A CASE REPORT OF SUSPECTED ANGIOEDEMA IN A CHILD AFTER ADMINISTRATION OF MEBENDAZOLE, COTRIMOXAZOLE AND LEAF EXTRACTS.
abstract: Adverse drug reactions in children are an important public health problem. Children are at a higher risk of developing adverse drug reactions as they seldom express their own drug therapy experiences. Factors that have been implicated include polypharmacy especially with anti-infective and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs; also concomitant use of traditional medicines which is prevalent in some cultures. Cutaneous drug allergy is a common manifestation of adverse drug reactions.
