  • Title: Hypersensitivity reactions to intravenous antibiotics in cystic fibrosis.
    Author: Wright MFA, Bush A, Carr SB.
    Journal: Paediatr Respir Rev; 2018 Jun; 27():9-12. PubMed ID: 29703693.
    Abstract:
    Hypersensitivity reactions to intravenous antibiotics are common in cystic fibrosis (CF). As well as causing immediate morbidity, the need for future avoidance of the causative antibiotic can have a long-term negative impact on CF management. This paper reviews the epidemiology and clinical presentation of hypersensitivity reactions in CF patients, and using an illustrative case describes a rare but severe form of delayed drug reaction for which a high index of suspicion is required.
