متن کاملOptimizing empiric antibiotic therapy in patients with severe β-lactam allergy.
Antibiotic selection is challenging in patients with severe β-lactam allergy due to declining reliability of alternate antibiotics. Organisms isolated from these patients may exhibit unique resistance phenotypes. The objective of this study was to determine which alternate antibiotics or combinations provide adequate empirical therapy for patients with β-lactam allergy who develop Gram-negative...
متن کاملAllergy to b-Lactam Antibiotics in Children
Background. Skin tests with soluble b-lactams can be used to diagnose immediate and delayed hypersensitivity (HS) reactions to b-lactam antibiotics. Very few studies have been performed with children with suspected b-lactam allergy. In these studies, immediate HS to b-lactams was diagnosed by skin tests in 4.9% to 40% of children. The diagnostic and predictive values of immediate responses in s...
