[Early detection and determination of the incidence of side effects in the hospital by intensive (comprehensive) drug monitoring].

In the "Comprehensive Hospital Drug Monitoring Berne" (CHDMB) the frequency of adverse drug reactions can be either determined by counting individual patients with probable or proven reactions to a drug or by mathematic-statistical analysis of exposed and nonexposed patients with and without the reaction. These two methods are used to show the frequency of a maculopapular rash in connection with three antiinfectious drugs. The mathematic-statistical frequency of a maculopapular rash was 11.0% for aminopenicillins, 3.7% for other penicillins, and 3.4% for co-trimoxazole and sulfonamides compared to 1.2% in patients treated with other than the especially mentioned drug groups. Two new adverse reactions were detected by this system: arterial hypotension due to novaminesulfon-dipyrone (Novalgin) and drug fever to the antidepressive drug nomifensin (Alival). Also the frequency of some other, not unusual adverse reactions is demonstrated.

Hymenoptera sting hypersensitivy: IgE, IgG and haemagglutinating antibodies to bee venom constituents in relation to exposure and clinical reaction to bee stings.

High levels of IgE antibodies (Ab) to bee venom constituents were mainly found in patients with bee sting hypersensitivity, whereas the sera of bee keepers usually contained high levels of IgG Ab and haemagglutinins, representing blocking antibody activity. In bee keepers there was a positive correlation between the degree of severity of an adverse reaction to bee stings and IgE Ab, a negative one between the severity of reaction and IgG Ab and haemagglutinins, a positive one between the number of stings per season and IgG Ab and haemagglutinins, and negative one between the number of stings and IgE Ab. This suggests a mutual dependence of the production of IgE Ab and blocking Ab in a regularly exposed population. No such correlation was found in bee sting-allergic patients, indicating that other factors influence the severity of reaction in this only sporadically exposed group. The values of IgG Ab and haemagglutinins correlated well with each other, with IgG Ab giving a better correlation with severity of reaction and number of stings than the haemagglutinins.
