February 15, 2019 updated by: Jettanong Klaewsongkram, Chulalongkorn University

The Multicenter Registry of Patients With Severe Cutaneous Adverse Reactions Among Tertiary Medical Institutes in Thailand

The multicenter registry of patients with severe cutaneous adverse reactions among tertiary medical institutes in Thailand to study clinical characteristics, etiologies, therapeutic outcomes, quality of life, and the values of in vitro drug allergy diagnosis for the confirmation of the causative drugs

Study Overview
