Lee EY, et al. - Authors sought to characterize the demographics and clinical course of hypersensitivity reactions in a cohort of patients with ibuprofen allergy.

Findings suggested rapid onset of symptoms. Nonetheless, there was a risk of severe anaphylaxis, reactions typically ranged in severity from mild to moderate. Results demonstrated potential cross-reactivity with other NSAIDs or acetaminophen. A contribution of this study to the understanding of the demographics and clinical course of ibuprofen hypersensitivity reactions was noted.
