Oral desensitization with allopurinol presents a problem for patients with allopurinol hypersensitivity and gout that needs to be controlled rapidly. To our knowledge, only 1 case report of intravenous (i.v.) desensitization has been previously published.
To present a case report of a patient with cutaneous reactions to allopurinol who underwent i.v. allopurinol desensitization.
Intravenous infusion of allopurinol was performed using an escalating, 19-dose protocol.
No adverse reactions were precipitated by 2 i.v., escalating dose procedures, allowing continuation of effective treatment of the patient's hyperuricemia.
This case of safe and effective desensitization with allopurinol by the i.v. route should emphasize the need for a trial of this protocol in additional patients in whom rapid desensitization would be advantageous.
对于需要迅速控制病情的别嘌醇过敏且患痛风的患者,口服别嘌醇进行脱敏治疗存在问题。据我们所知,此前仅发表过1例静脉内(i.v.)脱敏治疗的病例报告。
报告1例对别嘌醇有皮肤反应的患者接受静脉内别嘌醇脱敏治疗的病例。
采用逐步递增的19剂量方案进行别嘌醇静脉输注。
2次静脉内递增剂量程序均未引发不良反应,从而得以继续有效治疗该患者的高尿酸血症。
该例通过静脉途径使用别嘌醇进行安全有效的脱敏治疗,应强调有必要在其他可能从快速脱敏中获益的患者中试用此方案。
