Drug allergy is a major public health problem which causes 0.4-10.3% of hospital admissions in children. Epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of drug allergies differ between pediatric and adult patients. There are still gaps in knowledge about drug allergies in children.
This Research Topic will discuss recent developments in drug allergy with a focus on pediatric age, particularly on diagnosis and treatment. The Research Topic will also address the differences between pediatric and adult patients such as: drugs involved in reactions, methods used for diagnosis, natural history, risk factors, etc.
Below examples are suitable themes for manuscripts.
- Epidemiology
- Antibiotic allergy
- NSAIDs hypersensitivity
- Vaccine reactions
- Perioperative hypersensitivity
- New drugs, new reactions
- Skin tests
- Drug Provocation (Protocols/Costs/Safety)
- Clinical algorithms
- Risk stratification
- Diagnostic methods
- Differential diagnosis
- Severe reactions
- Treatment
- Desensitization (Protocols/Costs/Safety)
- Natural history of drug hypersensitivity in children
All manuscript types (original, review, etc.) accepted by Frontiers in Allergy are welcome.
