Active clinical trials for "Drug Hypersensitivity"

revising penicillin allergy in the medical records, by taking full medical history and giving a challange test, in order to imrove the medical records and treatment possibilities.

A case-control study to look at hypersensitive and tolerant individuals matched for HLA genetic predisposition, when considering predictors of drug hypersensitivity.The study aims to identify the immunological factors increasing the risk of drug reactions in HIV positive individuals.

The aim of this study is (1) to assess the incidence of suspected drug allergies in a pediatric hospital and the proportion in which these reactions are confirmed to be allergic; (2) to evaluate the diagnostic values of the different allergy tests available; (3) to investigate the pathophysiology of drug allergies, particularly by investigating the role of viruses, and by performing HLA typing and a gene expression profile both in the acute phase of the reaction and 2 months later.

Perioperative anaphylactic reactions are immediate, hypersensitive reactions that are potentially life-threatening resulting from a sudden release of mediators from mast cells and basophiles. Which is due to either immune (IgE or non-IgE mediated) or non-immune mechanisms. Pseudo-allergic are defined as those reactions that produce the same clinical symptoms with anaphylaxis but are not IgE mediated, occur through a direct nonimmune-mediated release of mediators from mast cells and/or basophils or result from direct activation.so pseudo-allergic reactions do not require previous contact with the substance. Recent studies have shown that a mast-cell-specific receptor,G-protein-coupled receptor MRGPRX2,is crucial for pseudo-allergic drug reactions.in this study. In the study, we will examine the MRGPRX2 gene in patients with pseudo-allergic reactions during anesthesia, aiming at clarifying the relationship between pseudo-allergic reactions and MRGPRX2 gene.

Current study evaluates the use of the improved Basophil Activation Test (BAT) in the diagnostics of IgE-mediated allergy to antibiotics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
