Allergic diseases of the skin and drug allergies – 2030. Validation of cephalosporin skin test for prediciting immediate hypersensitivity: interim analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Cephalosporin is one of the most commonly used beta-lactam antibiotics globally, and also a major offending agent of drug hypersensitivity along with penicillin. Cephalosporin skin test has been widely used in most hospitals in Korea. However, the validity of this test for prediction of immediate hypersensitivity has still not been well studied. Therefore, we conducted this study to determine the predictive validity of cephalosporin skin test prior to administration.

Background There have been no standard methods to predict the hypersensitivity to cephalosporin. The relationship between cephalosporin hypersensitivity and history of beta-lactam hypersensitivity is not clear. This retrospective study is to evaluate the reliability of routine prophylactic skin test with cefazolin in general population and the relationship between results of cefazolin skin test...
متن کاملEvaluation of immediate allergic reactions to cephalosporins in non-penicillin-allergic patients.

In vivo tests may be used for the diagnosis of allergy to iodinated contrast media (ICM); however, the tests do not provide definitive diagnosis and are associated with risks for patients. Diagnoses based on in vitro tests are limited, and there are almost no relevant studies. Herein, the authors examined involvement of allergic reaction from a multilateral standpoint in 39 patients suspected o...
