Abstract
This review focuses on several basic mechanisms of allergy and when a rheumatologist should consider an external agent as being responsible for seemingly 'rheumatic' manifestations. Typical allergic diseases are discussed in order to help the physician to recognise them. In addition, allergic aspects and adverse drug reactions of antirheumatic drugs and biopharmaceutical agent therapies will be discussed.
