How Common is Hypersensitivity Cross-Reactivity with NSAIDs?
In this study, acetaminophen did not show cross-reactivity which is different than other studies that have shown ~25% cross-reactivity. The authors note that they did challenge testing which is different than many studies that use clinical history as the defining element of cross-reactivity. Questions for Further Discussion 1. What is the definition of angioedema? 2. What evaluation should be considered for a patient with potential NSAID hypersensitivity reaction? 3. What treatment options are available for pain and fever relief for patients with an NSAID hypersensitivity reaction? Related Cases Disease: Drug Reaction | St...

An international comparison of risk factors between two regions with distinct differences in asthma prevalence.
