Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Prick tests are more specific but less sensitive than ID which can give false positive results. 3 NSAIDS groups can be considered: Aspirin, diclofenac and metamizol with a higher percentage of positivity. For others NSAIDS including the newer coxibs positivity around 50%. Nimesulid and acetaminophen with a lower of positivity. Skin tests can be used in NSAIDS hypersensitivity to confirm clinical history but also to choose, case by case, a drug less prone to give hypersentivity reactions.
