چکیده

We are reporting a case of one patient who have experienced itching of palms and soles, thorax erythema, conjunctive injection immediately after oral administration of amoxicillin, and hypotension after 3 hours. In E.D. hypotension was monitored because he was a cardiopatic but it wasn't treated even if it was protracted. A positive result of immediate-reading intradermal test with amoxicillin at 2 mg/ml concentration was found confirming the diagnosis of allergic biphasic anaphylaxis to amoxicillin.
