Methods A total of 245 patients with suspected NSAIDs HS were referred to our Drug Allergy Clinic from 2009 to 2013 and those with suspected PHS were evaluated. Demographic data, atopy, comorbidities, HS to other NSAIDs, timing of reaction, clinical manifestations and diagnostic procedures were assessed. PHS was confirmed by a positive DPT (drug provocation test) and considered probable based only on a suggestive clinical history.
