  • Title: Experience with a new commercial skin testing kit to identify IgE-mediated penicillin allergy.
    Author: Nolan RC, Puy R, Deckert K, O'Hehir RE, Douglass JA.
    Journal: Intern Med J; 2008 May; 38(5):357-61. PubMed ID: 18402562.
    Abstract:
    Many patients who describe a history of allergy to penicillin do not prove to be allergic and can be treated safely with penicillin. After a period of 2 years where testing of penicillin allergy was not possible, a new commercial kit has recently become available. We report our initial experience with use of the kit with 29 patients and discuss one patient who experienced anaphylaxis during i.d. testing.
