Article Synopsis
- Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) can be classified into Type A (pharmacokinetics-related) and Type B (immune response-related), with Type B reactions being less well-defined and often categorized into immediate and delayed types.
- This review aims to explore the immunological mechanisms behind delayed hypersensitivity reactions to medications, highlighting their complexities.
- Findings discuss the classification, clinical signs, diagnosis, treatment plans, and overall prognosis of delayed hypersensitivity, emphasizing the need for prompt, tailored approaches by healthcare professionals.
Objective: Determine the level of knowledge of mothers of children under 5 years of age about vaccination schedule.
Methods: Cross-sectional, observational, descriptive, and analytical study, carried out in the Family Medicine Unit 1 of Orizaba, Veracruz, in which two questionnaires were applied to mothers of children under 5 years of age, one prepared by PAHO that qualifies attitudes. of parents about vaccines, and another that evaluates knowledge of immunizations.
Objective: Determine the level of knowledge and acceptance that mothers of children under 5 years of age have about vaccination.
Methods: Statistical analysis was performed using the GraphPad Prism statistical program. Absolute frequencies and percentages were estimated for the qual- itative variables, and measures of central tendency and dispersion for numerical variables.
Background: Any substance used as a treatment for any disease can produce harmful or unpleasant events called adverse drug reactions (ADRs). They are due to inherent biological effects of the drug and are caused by immunological and non-immunological mechanisms.
Objectives: To describe the immunological mechanisms of hypersensitivity reactions (HSR) to drugs, their epidemiology, risk factors, classification, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis.
Objective: To determine the prevalence of allergic rhinitis and its associated factors in students from several Mexican states.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in order to identify the factors that are associated with the prevalence of allergic rhinitis. The "Allergic Rhinitis Diagnostic Questionnaire for Epidemiological Studies" was used, together with another questionnaire, to identify risk factors in allergic rhinitis.
Background: The presence of asthma may increase the risk for internalizing disorders such as major depression and anxiety.
Objective: To determine if the diagnosis of asthma in children is associated with other internalizing disorders such as panic disorder, social phobia, separation anxiety, and total anxiety.
Methods: In this analytical, descriptive and comparative cross sectional study, 144 asthmatic and 144 nonasthmatic patients, with ages between 8 and 17 years, were included.
Background: The use of metered dose inhaler (MDI) is key in the treatment of asthma; its effectiveness is related to proper technique.
Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of the technique of metered dose inhalers for the parents or guardians of school children with asthma.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we used a sample of 221 individual caregivers (parent or guardian) of asthmatic children from 5 to 12 years old, who use MDI.
