Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
There is a huge burden of drug allergy (DA) in High-Income Countries and is a major impediment to clinical management, adversely affecting outcomes. Data regarding DA from low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) are sparse. Also, there is a vast unmet demand for DA services in LMICs. We aimed to determine the prevalence of self-reported and physician-documented DAs in Sri Lanka and to explore potential risk factors associated with DA labels.
