E
Drug antigen bind and cross link IgE on allergic cell which results in degranulation
S
Drug antigen specific igG bind antigen on the cell surface or matrix and activated phagocytosis cell
D
Drug antigen specific IgG bind to soluble antigen forming complexes that activate complement and phagocytic cell
D
Drug antigen specific t lymphocyte receptor bind to drug antigen and activate t lymphocyte with effector cell including macrophage, eosinophils and or cytotoxic t lymphocyte
D
Minuet to hours
D
Days to week
D
Combo testing
D
Complement level
D
Prolonged drug challenge
D
Type A:
D
Type B:
E
pharmacologically predictable, dose-dependent, non-
immune-mediated, and less influenced by genetic factors
D
pharmacologically unpredictable, non-dose-dependent and
often immune-mediate
E
being caused by mechanisms of
action other than the intended primary pharmacologic mechanism of action of the drug.
X
The off-target can be:
E
Most delayed reactions begin
after six hours and typically after days of treatment
D
Directly attributable to vasoactive mediators released by mast cells
and basophils
D
Attributable to anti-body
mediated cell destruction
F
Due to inflammation in response
to AG-AB complex
C
Activation of T-cells
E
Urticarial rash
D
Pruritus, flushing
W
Angiodema of face, extremities or
laryngeal tissue
E
Wheezing, Bronchospasm, rhinitis
S
• GI symptoms, hypotension
W
Anaphylaxis
E
Hemolytic anemia
D
Thrombocytopenia
E
Neutropenia
R
Serum sickness
D
Vasculitis
D
Arthus reaction
D
Contact dermatitis
E
Maculopapular (including
morbilliform) eruptions
D
SDRIFE — “Symmetrical drug-
related intertriginous and flexural
exanthem”
D
Acute generalized exanthematous
pustulosis — AGEP
E
Drug fever
D
Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic
epidermal necrolysis (SJS,TEN)
D
Drug-induced hypersensitivity
syndrome — DiHS, also called
DRESS
D
The signs and symptoms of most pseudoallergic reactions are similar
to IgE-mediated (immediate) allergic reactions
W
Both can involve urticaria, angioedema, or anaphylaxis due to mast cell
degranulation.
E
Anaphylaxis is likely when any one of the three criteria is fulfilled
D
Evaluation of patients with penicillin allergy
C
Allergy history:
W
Skin testing for immediate reaction
E
Is a bioassay that detects the presence of allergen-specific IgE on the surface of a patient’s cutaneous
mast cells.
W
Skin testing
Mechanism
Indication
Safety
Contraindicated
D
Mast cell activation results in a positive skin test, which is a transient “wheal-and-flare” reaction
within 15 to 20 minutes from application of the allergen.
W
Most rapid, sensitive, and cost-effective testing modality for identifying penicillin-sensitized patients
W
High risk for an anaphylactic reaction to testing,
D
Have experienced a recent anaphylactic event,
C
Taking medications that may interfere with the treatment of anaphylaxis, or
F
Have certain skin conditions.
E
Skin testing
Procedure
D
Two methods of skin testing for IgE-mediated disorders:
C
performed following negative prick/puncture tests and are approximately 100- to
F
should be performed first, and if negative, intradermal tests should
D
The minimal reagents required are:
E
Positive and negative controls,
D
The major determinant (penicilloyl-polylysine [PPL]) and
R
The minor determinant penicillin G.
F
Following negative skin test results, the absence of allergy should be confirmed with a ……..
R
Do not perform any pencillin allergy testing if there is history of pencilllin associated
D
Blistering rash
D
Nephritis
D
Hepatitis
E
Fever
F
Joint pain
S
The reaction was cutaneous
S
The reaction had feature of IgE / immediate
S
The patient unstable or compromised hemodynamics or respiratory status or pregnancy with low risk allergy history
D
Skin testing: Delayed reaction
F
