Allergy to Local Anesthetics is a Rarity: Review of Diagnostics and Strategies for Clinical Management
AbstractLocal anesthetics (LA) are commonly used in procedures and in topical agents for pain management. With the increasing use of LA drugs, the management of LA reactions is more frequently encountered in the office and in operating rooms. True allergic reactions involving IgE-mediated reactions and anaphylaxis are rare; they have only been identified in case reports and account for less than 1% of adverse LA reactions. Most reactions are non-allergic or are a result of hypersensitivity to other culprits such as preservatives, excipients, or other exposures. LA reactions that are misclassified as true allergies can lead...

NSAID hypersensitivity – recommendations for diagnostic work up and patient management
ConclusionThe diagnostic work-up begins with a  detailed patient’s history. Skin tests are only useful in SNIDR and SNIUAA, while in vitro tests are helpful merely in exceptional cases. In general, the diagnosis can only be confirmed by provocation testing, when required. Although cross-reactivity is usually present, provocation testing is of ten able to find an alternative, tolerable analgesic. Individual patient management usually enables a solution to be found for most patients.
