H1-antihistamines are commonly used drugs, and probably the most frequently and freely used for allergic diseases. We report a case of hypersensitivity to antihistamines with development of skin eruptions on intradermal injection of the drug. The utricaria as a result of antihistamines was reconfirmed with repetition of the test. This is one of the very rarely reported types of drug reaction with the literature review of the same.

Abstract


H1-antihistamines are commonly used drugs, and probably the most frequently and freely used for allergic diseases. We report a case of hypersensitivity to antihistamines with development of skin eruptions on intradermal injection of the drug. The utricaria as a result of antihistamines was reconfirmed with repetition of the test. This is one of the very rarely reported types of drug reaction with the literature review of the same.
