Article Synopsis
  • Limited information exists about the stability of penicillin-based antibiotics for skin testing, prompting a study on 16 parenteral antibiotics to evaluate their physicochemical stability and provide guidelines for clinicians.
  • Most antibiotics showed good stability for 2 to 7 days, with amoxicillin/clavulanic acid being a notable exception, dropping below acceptable levels by day 2.
  • The research included specific tests for chemical and physical stability, revealing that while many antibiotics maintained acceptable performance, some experienced significant color changes and pH drops over time.

Background: Patients who suffer from acute IgE-mediated allergy to a cephalosporin antibiotic are frequently assumed to be at high risk of allergy to other cephalosporins and penicillins.

Aim: To define cross-reactivity patterns in patients with confirmed allergy to a cephalosporin.

Methods: Subjects presenting with a history of immediate allergy to a cephalosporin-family antibiotic between March 2009 and July 2017 were investigated with specific IgE testing to penicillin, amoxycillin and cefaclor, followed by skin prick testing, intradermal testing and drug provocation testing with a panel of penicillins and cephalosporins.
