Mastocytosis is a myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by abnormal proliferation and activation of clonal mast cells typically bearing the KITD816V mutation. Symptoms manifest due to the release of bioactive mediators and the tissue infiltration by neoplastic mast cells. Mast cell activation symptoms include flushing, pruritus, urticaria, abdominal cramping, diarrhea, wheezing, neuropsychiatric symptoms, and anaphylaxis. Up to 50% of patients with mastocytosis report a history of provoked and unprovoked anaphylaxis, with Hymenoptera venom and drugs the most common culprits. NSAIDs, antibiotics, vaccines, perioperative medications, and radiocontrast media are often empirically avoided without evidence of reactions, depriving patients of needed medications and placing them at risk for unfavorable outcomes. The purpose of this review is to highlight the most common agents responsible for adverse drug reactions in patients with mastocytosis, with a review of current epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of drug hypersensitivity and Hymenoptera venom allergy.
肥大细胞增多症是一种骨髓增殖性肿瘤,其特征为通常携带KIT D816V突变的克隆性肥大细胞异常增殖和活化。症状因生物活性介质的释放以及肿瘤性肥大细胞的组织浸润而出现。肥大细胞活化症状包括潮红、瘙痒、荨麻疹、腹部绞痛、腹泻、喘息、神经精神症状和过敏反应。高达50%的肥大细胞增多症患者报告有诱发和非诱发过敏反应病史,其中膜翅目毒液和药物是最常见的病因。非甾体抗炎药、抗生素、疫苗、围手术期用药和放射性造影剂常常在没有反应证据的情况下被经验性地避免使用,这使患者无法获得所需药物,并使他们面临不良后果的风险。本综述的目的是强调肥大细胞增多症患者药物不良反应最常见的药物,同时回顾药物超敏反应和膜翅目毒液过敏的当前流行病学、诊断和管理。
