چکیده
Methods Herein we present case series of various non-immediate DHRs (occurring at any time as from 1 hour after the initial drug administration) amongst which drug-related intertriginous and flexural exanthema (Baboon syndrome), DRESS syndrome, fixed drug eruption and contact dermatitis. In all cases we performed patch testing with standardized and allergens prepared at our laboratory with the suspected drugs. The timing of patch test procedure was in median 6 weeks after the resolution of skin changes.
