Drug-induced immunological effects on the liver.

چکیده
We are concerned here only with the last group which the Symposium defined as "those reactions to drugs in which clinical symptoms are conditioned by previous exposure to and sensitization to the drug. They are mediated by an antigen-antibody reaction". This definition, although adequate at the time of its formulation, requires some modification in the light of newer knowledge, in particular extension of the definition "mediated by antigen-antibody reaction" to include the phenomenon of cellular allergy. A classification of allergic reactions was proposed by Gell and Coombs (1968).
