Background: Hypersensitive reactions (HSRs) often require that the provoking medication be discontinued but chemotherapeutic drugs are often essential for the treatment of the disease. Rapid drug desensitization is a procedure that induces temporary tolerance to the drug allowing continuation of treatment in patients who have presented HSRs.
