Hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs) to paclitaxel are frequently encountered in patients receiving this antitumour drug. Administration of histamine H1- and H2-receptor antagonists and corticosteroids has been shown to reduce significantly the risk of developing an HSR in patients receiving taxanes. In this case report, we describe the fatal outcome of an HSR in a patient receiving paclitaxel despite short-course premedication. The level of evidence supporting the short-course i.v. premedication schedule is challenged, as it is not compatible with the pharmacokinetic properties of dexamethasone.
接受紫杉醇治疗的患者经常会出现对该抗肿瘤药物的超敏反应(HSR)。组胺H1和H2受体拮抗剂以及皮质类固醇的给药已被证明可显著降低接受紫杉烷类药物治疗的患者发生HSR的风险。在本病例报告中,我们描述了一名接受紫杉醇治疗的患者尽管进行了短程预处理仍发生了致命的HSR。支持短程静脉内预处理方案的证据水平受到质疑,因为它与地塞米松的药代动力学特性不相符。
