![]() ![]() Be aware of cross-reactivity between penicillins, cephalosporins and carbapenems. Consider penicillin skin-testing to determine penicillin class sensitivity. Contraindication: Severe or immediate allergic reaction to a penicillin. Cross-reactivity rates between different beta-lactam. ![]() Piperacillin-tazobactam – Similarly, allergic reaction specific to tazobactam is rare but possible. Carrying an antibiotic allergy label is common: 10 in 100 people have a labeled beta-lactam allergy (BLA) The true prevalence of IgE-mediated antibiotic allergy is much lower (estimated 1 in 100 for BLA) most people with a documented BLA could safely receive beta-lactam antibiotics. Consider penicillin skin-testing +/- amoxicillin challenge. Allergic Cross-reactivity of Select Antimicrobials. Amoxicillin–clavulanate – patients who have a true IgE-mediated hypersensitivity to this drug combination may have an allergy to the clavulanate component, but not amoxicillin or other beta-lactam antibiotics. In these patients, use clinical judgement and caution when prescribing any new antimicrobial. Reaction likely based on Beta-lactam ring: Clinical evidence of cross reaction. NB: Be aware that some patients may react to other β-lactams not because of cross-reactivity but because of their underlying predisposition to develop allergic reactions to multiple unrelated drugs (multiple drug allergy syndrome). Beta-lactam Antibiotic Cross-Allergy Chart. drug rash with eosinophilia & systemic symptoms (DRESS).Avoid all β-lactam antibiotics if documented severe non-lgE-mediated reaction to penicillin: Use of an active pharmacist intervention combined with an antibiotic side chain-based cross-reactivity chart substantially improved prescribing of preferred. An internally developed, antibiotic side-chainbased cross-reactivity chart was developed and implemented alongside enhanced allergy assessment processes. ![]()
