A REVIEW ON PENICILLIN ALLERGIES
Journal Title: Int J of Pharm Rev& Res - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Penicillin allergies are the most common miss diagnosed and wrongly diagnosed allergies in children. Many children are labeled penicillin allergic without getting them tested prior. Misdiagnosis of penicillin allergy may result in the unnecessary use of more expensive and less effective antibiotics as well as the emergence of multidrug-resistant cases. Skin testing remains standard practice for the evaluation of patients with immediate hypersensitivity reactions to penicillin. A DPT test can also be performed for diagnosing a child with penicillin allergies. Correct diagnosis of penicillin allergy is needed to avoid the morbidity, mortality and economic cost associated with it
