The patient was treated for a month with oral antihistamines and the reaction subsided. The time of treatment was based on the amount of time required for the paclitaxel to be eluted. Thus paclitaxel reactions may be conservatively treated. Reference Pfock L, et al. Drug-eluting coronary stents: hypersensitivity reactions to paclitaxel. Dermatology 2009; 218(1):52-55.   Back
