The skin is one of the most frequently involved organs in adverse drug reactions. Occurring with an incidence of 1-5% for certain types of drugs, cutaneous drug eruptions are mostly benign in nature, and comprise the maculopapular type of eruption and urticaria. However, about one third of them require hospital treatment, leading to a considerable burden for the health care system. In this book, a selected group of experts provide an up-to-date, condensed and clinically relevant overview of the field of cutaneous drug eruptions, ranging from epidemiology and genetic predisposition to available therapeutic measures, including rapid drug desensitization. Reflecting the great progress made in recent years in this field, this publication will be a useful tool for a better understanding, diagnosis and management of cutaneous drug eruptions, not only for general physicians, dermatologists and clinical allergologists, but also for nurses and scientists.

Around 1% of the population is thought to suffer from Histamine Intolerance. Symptoms include pruritus, urticaria, angioedema, flushing, headaches and tachycardia, but the condition is poorly understood and sufferers often fail to get either a diagnosis or effective treatment. 'Histamine Intolerance: A Comprehensive Guide for Healthcare Professionals’ is designed to enable health professionals both to identify the condition and implement strategies to manage it. Dr Janice Vickerstaff Joneja has specialised in the clinical management of histamine sensitivity since the 1990s. She has distilled over 20 years of experience first into a ‘Beginner’s Guide’ for histamine intolerance sufferers and now into this much more comprehensive, fully referenced guide for health professionals. Included are cases studies, treatment advice including medications and a full food list.
