Hypersensitivity reactions are a classic side effect of cetuximab. We report the cases of three patients who developed life-threatening hypersensitivity to cetuximab, which could have been predicted by assessing the concentration of serum anticetuximab immunoglobulin (Ig)E. The anticetuximab IgE concentration could be an interesting test to predict which patients are at risk of experiencing severe hypersensitivity reactions to cetuximab.
过敏反应是西妥昔单抗的典型副作用。我们报告了三例患者发生危及生命的西妥昔单抗过敏反应的病例,通过评估血清抗西妥昔单抗免疫球蛋白 (Ig)E 浓度可以预测这些反应。抗西妥昔单抗 IgE 浓度可能是一种很有前途的检测方法,可以预测哪些患者有发生严重过敏反应的风险。
