Introduction: Drug allergies are often self-reported but of unknown accuracy. We carried out a prospective study to examine the utility and safety of formal allergology evaluation, and to identify factors associated with accurate drug allergy labels. Method: All patients who underwent drug allergy evaluation in our clinic during the study period were recruited. Baseline demographics, characteristics of index hypersensitivity reaction and outcomes of evaluation were recorded. Results: A total of 331 patients from March 2019 to June 2021 completed drug allergy evaluation to index drugs of concern. There were 123 (37%) male patients, and the mean age was 49 years (standard deviation 17). There were 170 beta-lactam antibiotics, 53 peri-operative drugs, 43 others, 38 non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and 27 non-beta-lactam antibiotic evaluations. Index reaction occurred within 5 years in 165 (50%) patients, with latency of less than 4 hours in 125 (38%) patients. The most common index reactions were rash, angioedema and urticaria. There were 57 (17%) evaluations stratified as low risk, 222 (67%) moderate risk, and 52 (16%) high risk based on multidisciplinary consensus. Allergy label was found to be false (negative drug evaluation) in 248 (75%) patients, while 16/237 (7%) skin tests, 44/331 (13%) in-clinic graded challenge, and 23/134 (17%) home prolonged challenges were positive (true drug allergy). The most common evaluation reactions were rash and urticaria. No cases of anaphylaxis were elicited. Conclusion: Seventy-five percent of drug allergy labels are inaccurate. Risk-stratified, protocolised allergy evaluation is safe. Prolonged drug challenge increases the sensitivity of drug allergy evaluation and should therefore be performed when indicated. Keywords: Drug allergy, drug hypersensitivity, graded challenge, prolonged drug provocation, skin testing
food challenge. The aim of this study is to evaluate the type of food allergy and the value of food atopy patch tests (APT) in the diagnosis of food allergy in adult patients with atopic dermatitis. METHODS We recruited 11 adult patients (3 Male, 8 Female) aged 26-47 years with atopic dermatitis (as per Hannifin and Rajka criteria). All patients kept detailed food diaries and symptoms correlation with questionnaires. They also had blood test specific Ig E, SPT and food APT. If positive, they were advised on a food elimination diet. They were followed up with at least 3 clinic visits over a course of 8-16 months. The results of these investigations were then correlated with their symptoms.
CONCLUSION To our knowledge, this is the first case report of a patient who became sensitized to CM proteins in adult life who successfully underwent a CM OIT protocol. The patterns of allergy are changing, with the appearance, in adulthood, of severe food allergies characteristically associated with childhood. CM-OIT is a safe and effective treatment for severe and long-lasting CM allergy. The protocol used allowed to achieve tolerance within a short period of time. Maintenance of 200 mL daily ingestion enables a diet without restrictions, with a clear positive impact on the quality of life.
