Article Synopsis
- Drug patch testing is a useful tool for diagnosing drug allergies in patients with Cutaneous Adverse Drug Reactions (CADRs), revealing that about 44.3% of tested patients had a positive reaction.
- The highest positive patch testing rates were found in patients with DRESS (53.9%) and maculopapular rash (49.0%), with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs being the most common culprits.
- The study highlights that drug patch testing can safely identify offending drugs, particularly in specific patient groups like those with HIV, where a significant correlation exists between positive tests and low CD4 counts.
