Özet

Drug-induced anaphylaxis is a life-threatening condition that is rapid in onset and defined as a serious allergic or hypersensitivity reaction. Proton pump inhibitors are widely used for the treatment of acid-related disorders. These drugs are known as effective, safe and well tolerated. Although these drugs are known to be safe they may lead to life-threatening side effects such as anaphylaxis and interstitial lung disease in addition to minor side effects such as abdominal pain, headache, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. A small number of anaphylactic reactions to lansoprazole have been described, although it is a commonly prescribed drug. We describe a case of anaphylaxis induced by oral intake of lansoprazole.
