Beta lactam allergy and resensitization in children with suspected beta lactam allergy
Clinical and Experimental Allergy, 2009SummaryBackground In patients who were clinically diagnosed as having beta lactam allergy and had negative skin tests, the rates of reported resensitization to beta lactams after subsequent exposures, vary significantly. Some allergists advocate skin testing before every exposure to beta lactams.Objective We sought to determine the true ...

Penicillin and Beta-Lactam Allergy: Epidemiology and Diagnosis
Current Allergy and Asthma Reports, 2014Penicillin is the most common beta-lactam antibiotic allergy and the most common drug class allergy, reported in about 8% of individuals using health care in the USA. Only about 1% of individuals using health care in the USA have a cephalosporin allergy noted in their medical record, and other specific non-penicillin, non-cephalosporin beta-lactam ...

Management of the Pregnant Patient with Beta-Lactam Allergy
Current Allergy and Asthma Reports, 2023We review the literature and discuss the logistics of testing pregnant patients for penicillin allergy.As in the general population, pregnant patients commonly report a penicillin allergy, but most patients are able to tolerate penicillin. Avoidance of beta-lactams in pregnancy is associated with increased morbidity: longer hospitalizations, more ...

Controversies in Drug Allergy: Beta-Lactam Hypersensitivity Testing
Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: in Practice, 2019All beta-lactam use is associated with a certain rate of adverse reactions. Many of these adverse reactions result in an allergy to the beta-lactam being entered into the patient's medical record. Unfortunately, only a small minority of these recorded allergies are clinically significant immunologically mediated drug hypersensitivity.

Update on beta-lactam allergy diagnosis
Current Allergy and Asthma Reports, 2005Allergic reactions to penicillin and cephalosporin antibiotics are common. The mechanisms involved are heterogeneous and not yet completely understood. However, clinical and immunologic studies suggest that type I (IgE-mediated) and type IV (cell-mediated) pathogenic mechanisms are involved in most immediate and non-immediate reactions, respectively ...

Risk stratification in beta-lactam allergy
Current Treatment Options in Allergy, 2021Beta-lactams (BLs) are among the most commonly prescribed and effective antibiotics. Given the fact that overdiagnosis of penicillin allergy constitutes a major public health problem by increasing health costs and contributing to overall antibiotic resistance, removing BL allergy label is crucial. Delabeling penicillin allergy as an essential component
