ATOPIC DERMATITIS AND ALLERGIC SKIN DISEASE Pollen Grains Induce a Rapid and Biphasic Eczematous Immune Response in Atopic Eczema Patients

چکیده
METHODS. Individual patients were randomly assigned to undergo prospective HLA-B*5701 screening, with exclusion of previously known HLA-B*5701 positive patients from abacavir treatment, or to undergo a standard approach of abacavir use without screening. All subjects who started abacavir were observed for 6 weeks, the time frame in which a large majority of hypersensitivity reactions occur. The clinical diagnosis of hypersensitivity reaction to abacavir was assessed further by epicutaneous patch testing.
