Clinical Trial Summary

This study focuses on the experience of the military patient reporting a suspected drug allergy, with its own specificities. Suspicions of drug allergies during a mission expose the doctor to difficulties. This study will improve understanding of the allergy patient's point of view. The end result could be a set of ideas for measures to raise awareness among these patients, and motivate them to undergo an allergological assessment.
