“…In our study, the drugs that were most closely related to hypersensitivity reactions were penicillin, then sulfonamides and acetylsalicylic acid. This is consistent with the findings of previous studies [ 2 9 ]. Interestingly, there were 5 students who self-perceived as “allergic” to loratadine.…”

“…In our study, students with drug hypersensitivity reported more than 80% reactions due to the use of antibiotics, mainly β-lactams and less than 15% were related to the use of NSAIDs. These findings are similar to previous reports [ 2 5 6 7 9 10 11 ]. However, there are also studies in which NSAIDs are most prevalently associated with hypersensitivity reactions [ 4 17 18 ].…”

“…In hospitalized patients, the prevalence of drug hypersensitivity is higher than in the general population. For example, a survey study in patients who were to undergo surgery reported allergic drug reactions (up to more than 38%) [ 9 ]. In another study, performed in an Emergency Department, 13% of the patients declared to be allergic to some type of antibiotic [ 16 ].…”

“…Health problems related to the use of drugs are considered as a dynamic process, they depend on the treatment protocols, new products, as well as new pharmacological indications [ 8 ]. However, there are 2 groups of drugs that over the years appear to have not changed their prevalence, β-lactam antibiotics and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) [ 2 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ].…”

BackgroundDrug hypersensitivity is defined as any unfavorable reaction that occurs after the administration of any drug. It may or may not be mediated by the involvement of the immune system. Epidemiological data related to drug hypersensitivity reactions in our country are scarce.ObjectiveTo determine the prevalence of drug hypersensitivity in a group of young adults, as well as to identify associated factors.MethodsA structured questionnaire was applied to young people aged 18 to 25 years. The instrument was oriented to identify reactions of drug hypersensitivity, as well as the most prevalent drugs involved. In addition, a personal and family history of atopic diseases was included. Analysis for associations between variables was been done through logistic regression.ResultsThe prevalence of drug hypersensitivity reactions was 12% (144 of 1,200). The antibiotics were the agents most related to hypersensitivity reactions (9.8%) followed by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (1.6%). Factors associated with drug hypersensitivity were a personal history of asthma, odds ratio (OR) 3.15 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.44–6.91), maternal and paternal history of drug hypersensitivity, OR 2.33 (95% CI, 1.21–4.48) and OR 3.11 (95% CI, 1.22–7.92), respectively.ConclusionThe results of this research show that drug hypersensitivity in young adults is a highly prevalent event and it is associated with personal history of asthma and history of drug hypersensitivity in parents.

“…19 Previous studies showed that antimicrobials induced hypersensitivity reactions are in high prevalence. [20][21][22][23][24][25] Also worrisome is the finding that 13% were undecided and 26% of respondents agreed that pregnant women and breastfeeding women should not use any antimicrobials. Antimicrobial treatment of infections is important for the health of women and their children during pregnancy.…”

Introduction:The objective of this study was to assess perceptions and attitudes amongst dental practitioners in relation to antibiotic usage and antibiotic resistance. Methods: Self-administered questionnaire was given to dental practitioners employed in south Croatia, west Herzegovina and Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina (N = 115).Results: 81.7% of respondents agreed the usage of antimicrobials is frequently uncritical and unnecessary. 83.5% of dental practitioners reported that they have used guidelines in their practice; however, only 9 out of 115 stated valid guidelines. Onethird of the respondents agreed or were undecided that the usage of antimicrobials in every oral inflammatory process treatment is justified. Furthermore, 13% was undecided and 26% agreed that pregnant women and breastfeeding women should not use any antimicrobials. However, three quarters of respondents considered they had satisfactory knowledge on antimicrobials. Discussion:The respondents considered they had satisfactory knowledge on antimicrobials, which was in contrast to the knowledge shown, but also expressed the need for additional education. Therefore, adequate measures include the creation of the local guidelines, their implementation, and updating the practitioners' knowledge on antibiotic use and resistance through continuous educational courses.
