THE STUDY OF PREVALENCE OF HYPERSENSITIVITY TO Β-LACTAM ANTIBIOTICS AMONG THE POPULATION OF UKRAINE

Abstract

This article is a part of research project of Ukrainian Medical Stomatological Academy “The Study of the Prevalence of Hypersensitivity to β-Lactam Antibiotics among the Ukrainian Population”, state registration No. 0116U004377. Allergic reactions to β-lactam antibiotics are the most common cause of adverse drug reactions, mediated by specific immunological mechanisms. The aim of this research was to determine the prevalence of hypersensitivity to β-lactam antibiotics among the population, by examining anamnestic data and conducting allergological examination to increase the safety of antibiotic therapy and improve the pharmacoeconomic profile of treatment.
