This is the first report of successful deferasirox administration, using graded challenge and treating through, in a patient with mild immediate hypersensitivity reaction. Beginning with drug graded challenges could indicate the eliciting dose and reaction severity which are important for the management plan in the next step. This approach could be a safe shortcut in a stable patient with a mild reaction and a long avoidance period.
