Mashup Score: 1Cephalosporins can be safely administered to patients with verified penicillin allergy - 7 month(s) ago
Whereas reported penicillin allergy is highly prevalent, true allergy is rare. Nonetheless, a reported penicillin allergy is associated with higher rates of alternative broad-spectrum antibiotic use, multidrug-resistant infections, surgical site infections, and higher health care costs and mortality.1,2 Although historically cephalosporins have been avoided in reported penicillin allergy, recent literature supports the safety of its administration in this patient population. In alignment with this understanding, Khan et al1 suggested that patients with nonanaphylactic unverified penicillin allergies can receive cephalosporins without testing, and patients with a history of anaphylaxis to penicillin can be given cephalosporins with structurally dissimilar R1 side chains without testing.

Mashup Score: 1Why Was There Ever a Warning Not to Use Cephalosporins in the Setting of a Penicillin “Allergy”? - 3 year(s) ago
It is now well-established that avoiding β-lactam antibiotics, when they are the drugs of choice, results in significantly worse long-term global outcomes for patients. Much of this avoidable morbidity has been caused by widespread warnings in electronic health care record systems not to use cephalosporins in the setting of penicillin allergy. High rates, up to 1000-fold higher than now seen, of…

Avoidance of cephalosporins and penicillin with beta-lactamase inhibitors during anti-TNF therapy reduced the risk for anti-drug antibodies among patients with inflammatory bowel disease, according to research published in Gut. “Primary non-response to anti-TNF therapy is seen in 40% of patients with even higher rates of failure to achieve complete remission. Additionally, the rate of

Mashup Score: 1Immediate Reactions to Cephalosporins: It is Time to Standardize the Diagnostic Essence - 3 year(s) ago
A recent European survey discloses cephalosporins to account for 10% to 40% of β-lactam hypersensitivity reactions, with ceftriaxone, cefaclor, and cefuroxime most commonly involved.1 Of the 333 cases of drug-induced anaphylaxis registered in Europe between 2002 and 2010, 12.3% were attributable to cephalosporins.1 According to a US-based health-record database, cephalosporins accounted for 4% of…
