Abstract
Multiple drug allergy syndrome is a clinical condition characterized by a propensity to react against different, chemically unrelated antibiotic or nonantibiotic drugs. The origin of this syndrome is still elusive. This article critically examines the medical literature on multiple drug allergy syndrome, compares and discusses recent personal observations obtained in patients with intolerance to multiple antibiotic or anti-inflammatory drugs, suggests possible pathogenic mechanisms for this type of drug allergy, and reports on current personal research in this field.Keywords
