About this book
The second edition of this book spans the broad range of modern therapeutic drugs, from small molecules to biologic recombinant proteins. It offers a comprehensive review of the classification and description of different drug-induced systemic and cutaneous hypersensitivities; an up-to-date coverage of individual culprit drugs in each group of therapeutics; the diagnosis and mechanisms of reactions; and important structure-activity relationships. New content expands to two areas of drug allergy that have recently experienced explosive growth: biological therapies and new targeted chemotherapies. Other new and expanded chapters address antimicrobials; drugs used in anesthesia and surgery; opioids; non-targeted anti-cancer drugs; vaccines; and newly understood reaction mechanisms.
The second edition of Drug Allergy is an essential reference for practitioners across the medical disciplines from specialist clinicians, surgeons, GPs, residents, and medical students to nurses, pharmacists, dentists, and those taking undergraduate and graduate courses in the biomedical sciences.
Reviews
“The second edition of the book Drug Allergy is a comprehensive textbook that encompasses the most current knowledge on drug allergy and hypersensitivity. … The book is a reference for clinicians, surgeons, pharmacists, nurses, and medical students, and provides the research background to guide the next generation of studies to fill the unmet needs in drug allergy and advance the field.” (Mariana Castells, Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, Vol. 128 (5), May, 2022)
