Multiple drug intolerance: allergological and psychological findings.

In order to evaluate pseudoallergic reactions to drugs, we studied a particular group of patients intolerant towards many drugs, pharmacologically dissimilar and administered during different periods of time.

Twenty female patients, all with a history of intolerance to at least three drugs, chemically and antigenically dissimilar and not belonging to the same category of drugs, were studied.
