We report two cases of an allergic reaction to HCO-60, which is used as an emulsifien for Multamin and enocitabine. A 55-year-old woman with M 4 Eo developed a high fever, urticaria and erythema after induction chemotherapy. After stopping the administration of Multamin, her fever and eruptions subsided. A 51-year-old woman with L 2 developed erythema and hypotension 30 minutes after the third administration of Multamin. When the patient was given enocitabine, she developed anaphylactic shock. During chemotherapy in patients with leukemia, it is important to distinguish the allergic reaction against Multamin-containing HCO-60 from infection and allergies to other drugs.

Meanwhile, endogenous and external factors contribute to the dysbiosis of skin microbiota in AD.

The basophil activation test (BAT) has become a major cellular test for evaluating the allergenic activity of specific IgEs. The impact of the BAT is due to the ability of blood basophil granulocytes to present IgE on the high-affinity FcRI receptor and to mirror the mast cell response that elicits an acute allergic reaction. The BAT proved to be able to identify allergic patients at risk of reacting to a low dose of the allergen and/or developing life-threatening reactions and thus can significantly improve the current management of allergic patients.

Antimicrobial prophylaxis is crucial in reducing surgical site infections (SSIs). First-generation cephalosporins are commonly first line, but issues arise when patients report a penicillin allergy. Although up to 10% of Americans report a penicillin allergy, up to 95% are not truly allergic.
