%X Metronidazole is the representative of nitroimidazoles the only class of medicines
that is used for treatment of Trichomonas vaginalis and also a drug of choice in other
infections: amebiasis; giardiasis; anaerobic bacterial and treponemal infections.
Types I, II, and IV hypersensitivity reactions to metronidazole have been reported
in the literature. Development of comprehensive protocol with validation of non-irritant
concentrations for skin testing and intradermal testing was an unmet need that we
addressed in our centre.
