Table 2.
Clinical signs (associated or not) reported for allergic and non-allergic reactions and their respective diagnostic odds ratios to predict an allergic hypersensitivity mechanism. Signs are linked to allergic hypersensitivity where the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval (95% CI) of the diagnostic odds ratio exceeds 1.
