Incidence, etiology, predictors and outcomes of suspected drug hypersensitivity reactions in a  tertiary care university hospital's emergency department : A retrospective study.

CONCLUSION: Drug hypersensitivity is a common reason for tertiary centre emergency admissions. This is the largest analysis of ED drug hypersensitivity admissions so far. Beta-lactams were identified as the leading cause of drug hypersensitivity requiring ED evaluation, which also explains the peak of drug hypersensitivity cases during winter months when the use of these medications is highest.
