Drug desensitization

Immunology and Allergy Clinics of North America
Roland Solensky

Abstract

Although most patients who report a history of drug allergy are not truly allergic, this article focuses on those individuals with confirmed drug hypersensitivity. Desensitization is an immunologic method that allows allergic patients to receive the sensitizing drug safely. Classically, the procedure is applied in IgE-mediated reactions, but its use has been extended to other drug reactions. The most common clinical scenarios wherein desensitization may be needed are reviewed. The discussion includes rapid desensitization of patients with IgE-mediated allergies to penicillin and other classes of antibiotics, and sulfonamide desensitization of HIV-positive patients.

Antifungals

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
