Abstract

Adverse drugs reactions occur in 10–15% of hospitalized patients and cause 3–6% of hospital admissions, constituting adn important public health issue (Doña et al., 2012). Some of them are unpredictable and occur after exposure to a drug at doses normally tolerated. These reactions, called drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHRs), can be immunologically mediated (allergic reactions) or non-immunologically mediated (non-allergic hypersensitivity reactions), which comprise most reactions induced by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (Pichler, 2019).
