Abstract

TO THE EDITOR: Trying to avoid exposure to drugs, anxiety about recurrence of an allergic reaction, and concerns about using drugs may adversely affect quality of life (QOL) in patients with drug hypersensitivity. 1,2 The only specific tool measuring health-related QOL in patients with drug hypersensitivity was developed by an Italian group in 2011 (DrHy-Q [Drug Hypersensitivity Quality of Life Questionnaire]).3 DrHy-Q is a reliable and valid instrument for evaluating QOL in patients with drug hypersensitivity.
