Genetic associations in beta-lactam allergy
Immediate reactions to beta-lactams (BLs) are the most common allergic reactions against drugs and can be lifethreatening. The genetic risk factors influencing these reactions are poorly known, except those which were previously identified as predictors of atopy and inflammation. Two polymorphisms of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 2 (NOD2), a gene associated with chronic inflammatory...
متن کاملPD32 - Non-immediate type beta-lactam allergy in childhood
Material and method A prospective study was performed using ENDA questionnaire in 103 children [4.8 (2.7-7.9) years, 60% male] with 124 non-immediate type hypersensitivity reactions. Prick and intradermal skin testing with major/minor determinant mixture, penicilin G, ampicillin, amoxicillinclavulanate and the culprit drug were done.

متن کاملDesensitization in patients with beta-lactam drug allergy.
BACKGROUND Patients with a history of beta-lactam antibiotic allergy are often admitted to the hospital with severe or life-threatening infections requiring beta-lactam antibiotics. Strict avoidance of beta lactams to such patients may prevent them from getting adequate coverage and can lead to an increase in the use of alternative antibiotics, which can predispose to antibiotic resistance. Pas...
متن کاملAllergy to b-Lactam Antibiotics in Children
Background. Skin tests with soluble b-lactams can be used to diagnose immediate and delayed hypersensitivity (HS) reactions to b-lactam antibiotics. Very few studies have been performed with children with suspected b-lactam allergy. In these studies, immediate HS to b-lactams was diagnosed by skin tests in 4.9% to 40% of children. The diagnostic and predictive values of immediate responses in s...
