Abstract | • Drug allergy accounts for about 10% of adverse drug events • History is the most important part of investigative process • Appreciation of immune mechanisms will guide investigation • Investigations are useful when targeted but are dependent on patient or parental preference • Drug challenges can be performed but most cases of potential drug allergy may be managed without them. |
