Abstract/OtherAbstract:

Allergic reactions to penicillin are usually short-lived and reversible, but they can be fatal. What causes these reactions? Can they be avoided? How is the risk of penicillin allergy evaluated? Drs Erffmeyer and Blaiss describe the full spectrum of allergic, immune, and nonimmune reactions to penicillin and discuss how to assess and treat patients with suspected penicillin allergy. |
