In our letter, we comment the paper of Kounis et al., that highlights a poor-known clinical entity determined by systemic use of corticosteroids, the so-called "Kounis syndrome type I". We appreciated and shared the intent of Authors to treat the important issue of high risk of adverse drug reaction in patients with atopic diathesis and we confirm the need to administer corticosteroids with caution in patients suffering from allergic disease.
在我们的信函中,我们对 Kounis 等人的论文提出了评论,该论文强调了一种由系统性使用皮质类固醇引起的鲜为人知的临床病症,即所谓的“Kounis 综合征 I 型”。我们赞赏并认同作者关注特应性体质患者中药物不良反应高风险这一重要问题的意图,并确认在患有过敏性疾病的患者中谨慎使用皮质类固醇的必要性。
