Penicillin allergy in rheumatoid arthritis. With special reference to Sjogren's syndrome.

چکیده
An increased prevalence of penicillin allergy has been noted in certain connective tissue disorders, in particular polyarteritis nodosa (Rose and Spencer, 1957) and systemic lupus erythematosus (Harvey, Shulman, Tumulty, Conley, and Schonerich, 1954). There is, to our knowledge, no reported study of the prevalence of penicillin allergy in rheumatoid arthritis, although an increased prevalence has been observed in patients with Sj0gren's syndrome, including those individuals with co-existing rheumatoid arthritis (Bloch, Buchanan, Wohl, and Bunim, 1965).
