Adverse Drug Reaction Probability Scale Question
1. Are there previous conclusive reports of this reaction?
2. Did the adverse event appear after the suspected drug was administered?
3. Did the adverse reaction improve when the drug was discontinued or a
specific antagonist was administered? 4. Did the adverse reaction reappear when the drug was readministered?
5. Are there alternative causes (other than the drug) that could on their own
have caused the reaction? 6. Did the reaction reappear when a placebo was given?
7. Was the drug detected in the blood (or other fluids) in concentrations
known to be toxic? 8. Was the reaction more severe when the dose was increased, or less severe
when the dose was decreased? 9. Did the patient have a similar reaction to the same or similar drugs in any
previous exposure? 1. Was the adverse event confirmed by any objective evidence?
Definite association; score = or > 9
Probable association; score 5 to 8
Possible association; score 1 to 4
Doubtful association; score = or < 0

Drug reaction classification
Type I : immediate-type immunologic reaction: IgE mediated urticaria/angioedema, anaphylactic
shock ex: penicillin
Type II : cytotoxic reaction: 1) drug plus cytotoxic antibodies cause cell lysis (platelets and
leukocytes) ex: cephalosporins, penicillin, rifampin, sulfonamides 2) drug plus antibodies form
immune complexes and cause lysis or phagocytosis ex: chlorpromazine, isoniazid, quinidine,
quinine, salicylamide, sulfonamides, sulfonylureas
Type III : serum sickness, vasculitis: IgG or IgM antibodies form to drug resulting in deposition of
immune complexes in small vessels, activated by complement and recruitment of granulocytes;
onset 5-7 days after drug introduction. Agranulocytosis, alveolitis, arthritis, hemolytic anemia,
nephritis, thrombocytopenia, urticaria-like lesions, vasculitis
Type IV : morbilliform exanthematous reactions: cell-mediated immune reaction by sensitized
lymphocytes reacting with drug, releasing cytokines
angioedema, exanthematous(?),fixed drug(?),Stevens-Johnson s., TEN, urticaria, vasculitis
bullous, exanthematous, fixed drug(?), lichenoid(?), photoallergic, Stevens-Johnson s.(?), TEN(?)
general : arthralgias/arthritis, dyspnea, fever > 40° C, hypotension, lymphadenopathy, wheezing
laboratory : abnormal LFTs, atypical lymphocytes, eosinophilia >1000/ul, lymphocytosis
skin : angioedema, confluent erythema, laryngeal/glossal edema, mucous membrane erosions,
necrosis, Nikolsky’s sign, painful skin, palpable purpura, urticaria
