The 6th Drug Hypersensitivity Meeting (DHM 6), Bern (CH)

DHM is an interdisciplinary meeting, bringing together researchers and physicians from different disciplines to exchange their most up-to-date data in this continually evolving field and to transfer it to clinical practice. It is the leading event of its kind, attracting up to 400 physicians and researchers from all over the world.  How small (and larger) molecules interact with the immune system and elicit hypersensitivity, toxicity, autoimmunity is still an enigmatic issue. It is not easy to diagnose, as the resulting diseases are often puzzling, and the test procedures are not yet definitively established. The last few years have brought many new insights and dramatically changed our view of hypersensitivity reactions. What was considered unpredictable became, for some drugs, highly predictable. What was bizarre became a well understood disease and  protocols on how to diagnose became available. Simultaneously new issues have arisen, for example, the side effects of biologicals have become a growing concern. So it is time to meet again and to discuss the latest progress with your colleagues.
