Abstract
The prevalence of anaphylaxis is high in patients who seek medical assistance for drug reactions, but its diagnosis is missed in emergency services, and adrenaline is underused. Drugs were prescribed to many patients despite a history of previous reaction. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were implicated in most cases of anaphylaxis induced by drugs, and IgE-mediated reactions were less frequent but more severe.
