Journal ArticleDOI
Immediate hypersensitivity reactions to penicillin and related antibiotics
M. E. Weiss,N. F. Adkinson +1 more
TL;DR: Allergenicity of penicillins is the major clinical problem that precludes the use of this class of antibiotics in a significant portion of the general population who are believed to be sensitive.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical experience with penicillin skin testing in a large inner-city STD clinic
TL;DR: Skin testing with both major and minor penicillin determinants is safe using current recommendations, and both reagents are necessary for maximizing the identification of sensitized subjects.

TL;DR: General considerations on rapid desensitization for drug hypersensitivity – a consensus statement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Desensitization of patients allergic to penicillin using orally administered β-lactam antibiotics
TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that oral desensitization is an effective, relatively safe approach to administering beta-lactam antibiotics to penicillin-allergic patients with life-threatening infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antigen-specific desensitization of patients allergic to penicillin☆
TL;DR: Three penicillin-allergic patients with life-endangering infections requiring beta-lactam antibiotic therapy were desensitized by means of increasing oral then parenteral doses and were treated with full doses of beta- lactam agents, associated with antigen-specific desensitization of tissue mast cells.
