Drug allergy is a very common condition faced by both primary care physicians [1] and hospital physicians [2] worldwide. Drug allergy is further complicated by the underlying disease, which frequently prevents the use of the usual first-line treatments.
Furthermore, allergists know that patients who have experienced an allergic drug reaction, especially those who have had a severe reaction, are increasingly fearful of new allergic reactions and therefore tend to avoid taking any type of medication. In a previous study [3], we validated the Spanish version of the Drug Hypersensitivity Quality of Life (DHRQoL) questionnaire, which was developed in Italy by Baiardini et al [4]. In the present paper, we report the results of our psychometric validation of the questionnaire.
