Aminopenicillin-induced exanthema allows treatment with certain cephalosporins or phenoxymethyl penicillin

Abstract

The majority of patients with non-IgE-mediated allergic hypersensitivity to aminopenicillins do not cross-react to certain cephalosporins or phenoxymethyl penicillin. Skin and drug challenge tests can be helpful to determine individual cross-reactivity.
