Drug hypersensitivity (DH) is a complex issue. The clinic is highly heteroge­neous, and the mechanisms are routed in both immunological and pharmaco­logical principles. There are different approaches possible to analyze and communicate this wide field. Cutaneous Drug Hypersensitivity edited by Bircher, Maibach, Brockow, and Barbaud emphasizes the practical approach and puts optimal care for the patient in the center [1]. It is clearly intended for the physician encountering patients with suspected DH and provides practical information for specialists, but also for physicians without in-depth knowl­edge in pharmacology, immunology, dermatology, and allergy.

The book is organized in to five areas: starting with general aspects, clini­cal symptoms, diagnosis, management, and DH in specific populations; it con­cludes with 19 separate chapters devoted to DH to specific drug classes. Thus, the main aspects of DH for the clinician are covered; if one suspects a drug as elicitor for a particular DH one can quickly obtain more specific information on the particular drug/drug class, which type of DH reactions are known, how to diagnose them, and the relevant cross-reactivity. Such information is helpful for the clinician, who sees patients with a particular DH only rarely and who will look for helpful advice on the management of this DH.
