Self-diagnosed drug allergies: the belief of patients

Abstract

The term of "drug allergy" (DA) may include true hypersensitivity or non-allergic reactions. The rate of self-reporting DA ranges from 4.7% to 11% regardless of age. When patients report a DA, the medical team often decides a full and definitive elimination of the incriminated drug from future therapy, which deeply affects medical care.
