Diagnostic approach of hypersensitivity reactions to cefazolin in a large prospective cohort.

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice, 2021
BACKGROUND Cefazolin is a common trigger of perioperative anaphylaxis. The diagnostic approach is controversial as the optimal concentration for skin testing is uncertain, drug provocation tests (DPTs) are contraindicated in severe reactions, and in ...

Perioperative Cefazolin for Total Joint Arthroplasty Patients Who Have a Penicillin Allergy: Is it Safe?

Journal of Arthroplasty
BACKGROUND Cefazolin is the standard of care for perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis in total joint arthroplasty (TJA) in the United States. The potential allergic cross-reactivity between cefazolin and penicillin causes uncertainty regarding optimal ...

2019 John Charnley Award: Increased risk of prosthetic joint infection following primary total knee and hip arthroplasty with the use of alternative antibiotics to cefazolin: the value of allergy testing for antibiotic prophylaxis.

The Bone & Joint Journal, 2019
AIMS The aims of this study were to characterize antibiotic choices for perioperative total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA) prophylaxis, assess antibiotic allergy testing efficacy, and determine rates of prosthetic joint ...

Critical national shortage of cefazolin in Japan: management strategies.

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2020
The shortage of antimicrobials poses a global health threat. In Japan, for instance, the current, critical shortage of cefazolin, a first-line agent for the treatment of common infectious diseases and surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis, has had a ...

TOLERABILITY OF CEFAZOLIN AND CEFTIBUTEN IN PATIENTS WITH IGE-MEDIATED AMINOPENICILLIN ALLERGY.

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice, 2020
BACKGROUND Side chain similarities or identities constitute the predominant factor for cross-reactivity between penicillins and cephalosporins, whereas differences in the side-chain structure seem to account for the absence of such cross-reactivity ...

Impact of Allergy Clarification for Cefazolin Evidence-based Prescribing Tool (ACCEPT) on Receipt of Preferred Perioperative Prophylaxis: An Interrupted Time Series Study.

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2020
Implementation of a perioperative allergy and antibiotic assessment tool in patients with reported beta-lactam allergy resulted in a pronounced and sustained increase in perioperative cefazolin use. This intervention could result in improved efficiencies

Effects of cefazolin-containing niosome nanoparticles against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus biofilm formed on chronic wounds

Biomedical Materials, 2020
The ability of biofilm formation in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) causes significant mortality and morbidity in wound infections. Nanoparticles because of the drug concentration increment at the point of contact of nanoparticles and ...

Surgical site infection rate is higher following hip and knee arthroplasty when cefazolin is underdosed.

American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy, 2020
PURPOSE While many guidelines recommend higher doses of cefazolin for patients with higher body weights, there are scant outcome data showing the benefit of higher doses.
