Monographs in Contact Allergy, Volume 4: Systemic Drugs

This fourth volume in Anton C. de Groot’s authoritative series is a comprehensive reference dedicated to systemic drugs that cause delayed-type (type IV) cutaneous hypersensitivity reactions and occupational allergic contact dermatitis. It systematically documents all known systemic drugs implicated in these reactions, combining rigorous clinical detail with extensive literature review. Designed for clinicians and researchers dealing with complex drug allergies, the book serves as a definitive resource for understanding mechanisms, diagnosis, and clinical relevance of allergic cutaneous drug reactions.
