Rituximab’s Efficacy in Patients With Hypersensitivity Reactions

Hypersensitivity reactions

Hypersensitivity refers to undesirable (damaging, discomfort producing and sometimes fatal) reactions produced by the normal immune system. Hypersensitivity reactions require a pre-sensitized (immune) state of the host. Hypersensitivity reactions can be divided into four types: type I, type II, type III and type IV, based on the mechanisms involved and time taken for the reaction. Frequently, a...

The fidaxomicin labeling was revised to include information about the possibility of hypersensitivity reactions.
