摘要
The diagnosis of drug allergy is important because most suspected cases are not confirmed. Diagnosis is based on immediate or delayed skin test reactions, done in the absence of contraindications. In vitro laboratory tests have not yet replaced skin testing. Skin tests are not without risk, which accentuates the very important place of the clinical history, and also the need for precaution in skin testing, but in the large majority of cases they are the only means of confirming or rejecting the diagnosis of drug allergy.
