Pathophysiologically, drug hypersensitive reactions (DHRs) are classified into four types: type I, immediate reactions, and types II, III, and IV, non-immediate reactions. They are further categorized as severe or non-severe based on clinical severity. Genetic predisposition and viral reactivation are cofactors of severe DHR type IV.

Introduction: Patients with food allergies need personalized information on their risk of reaction in "real-life" situations. This multicentric study aimed to investigate the link during accidental reactions between the nature and amount of food allergens consumed in "real-life situation" and the severity of the symptoms.
Methods: Patients were prospectively recruited from December 1, 2020, to December 31, 2021, at the emergency departments in the Geneva University Hospitals and local pediatric emergency facilities, through an allergy outpatient clinic, at school and daycare facilities and trough their primary care physicians.

Introduction: Patients with immediate type allergic reactions to penicillins are at risk of anaphylaxis on reexposure. Diagnostic gold standard is drug provocation test (DPT) if allergy is not diagnosed by other means, such as skin testing or in vitro testing with measurement of specific IgE. Specific IgE testing carries low risk for the patient and blood sampling can be performed in primary care, but it is reported to have low sensitivity.

In vitro diagnostics for drug hypersensitivity reactions distinguish between serological and cellular-based tests. A serological test used for the diagnosis of immediate type reactions is the detection of specific IgE antibodies. The cellular tests include the basophil activation test for immediate type reactions and the lymphocyte transformation test, which is mainly used to detect delayed type hypersensitivity reactions.
