Background and aim. Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are common events in medical practice, representing a matter of concern for both outpatient and in hospital care. Understanding and management of ADRs depend on their mechanism and clinical picture, which are complex and highly heterogeneous. Drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHRs) are immunologically-mediated ADRs, which are considered allergies after demonstrating evidence of either drug-specific antibodies or T-cells. The correct diagnosis of a drug allergy in hospital setting is essential for the outcome of treated disease and for the patient future in terms of therapeutic needs. Patients may be labeled as being drug allergic, based on their history and vague symptoms that do not correspond to a true allergic reaction. The aim of our study was to evaluate consequences of drug allergy labelling of female patients hospitalized in the department of obstetrics and gynecology from a university hospital during one year, in terms of medical attitude and therapeutic approach. Method and Results. We found that 159 out of 2395 patients hospitalized in the obstetrics-gynecology department declared a history of drug allergy on admission, but only 3 patients had medical documents and adequate recommendations from the allergist. Hospital medical attitude was significantly influenced in all declared allergic patients, mainly in terms of antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory therapy. Conclusion. We concluded that overestimation of drug allergies in hospital care has important consequences in terms of current and future recommended therapy that should be based on standardized allergist evaluation.

Drug induced allergic reactions due to antibiotics rarely occur. Penicillin is the antibiotic class that is mostly commonly associated with drug induced allergic reactions (10 %). They are followed by quinolones (2 %) which will be discussed in this case based review. Fluoroquinolones allergic reactions can either present as an immediate reaction which requires urgent medical attention or a delayed reaction. Among the antibiotics of this class, moxifloxacin has been reported as the drug which is likely to result in occurrence of an allergic reaction. Some of the dermatologic eruptions that could manifest include maculopapular exanthema, urticarial, Steven Johnson Syndrome, fixed drug eruptions and drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS). The diagnosis needs a thorough history and physical examination, skin test, in vitro testing and drug provocation tests. Management includes discontinuation of the provoking agent and administration of antihistamines or corticoster...
