Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about dosing when testing to see if a penicillin allergy label can be removed from adults that had been labeled as "penicillin-allergic" previously. The main question it aims to answer is: - In penicillin-allergic patients that are at low risk of having an allergic reaction, is a one-dose oral challenge with amoxicillin (a penicillin-based antibiotic) as safe and effective as a two-dose oral challenge? Participants will, after being identified as having a low-risk penicillin allergy, be administered oral amoxicillin in a controlled setting and then monitored for an allergic reaction. Researchers will compare participants that took one dose of amoxicillin to participants that took two doses of amoxicillin (a small dose and then a larger dose) to see if either group was more likely to develop an allergic reaction.

This study focuses on the experience of the military patient reporting a suspected drug allergy, with its own specificities. Suspicions of drug allergies during a mission expose the doctor to difficulties. This study will improve understanding of the allergy patient's point of view. The end result could be a set of ideas for measures to raise awareness among these patients, and motivate them to undergo an allergological assessment.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a surgical site infection (SSI) is an infection that occurs after surgery at the site where the surgery was performed. The prevalence of SSIs is difficult to obtain and is probably underestimated, as many SSIs occur after the patient has been discharged from hospital and are not taken into account. SSIs are responsible for an increase in length of stay, mortality and costs. Their prevention is therefore essential in the operating theater, and has been the subject of recommendations recently updated by the CDC. The first line of prevention is the administration of prophylaxis antibiotic adapted to the surgical procedure, administered within a specific timeframe in order to achieve an effective bactericidal concentration in the tissues at the time of the surgical incision. In France, in the United States and for the WHO, the recommended first line of antibiotic prophylaxis is most often an agent from the beta-lactam family, a penicillin or a cephalosporin, with the exception of ophthalmological surgery. No strategy is described for the management of patients with a reported allergy to penicillin, apart from the recommendation of therapeutic alternatives. The use of a decision-making strategy in the operating theater for patients with a reported allergy to penicillin therefore appears necessary and is recommended by experts. In the intraoperative context, the application of a strategy would make it possible to guide the use of cephalosporins, without removing the "penicillin allergy" label from the patient, but by proposing an alternative via the use of a cephalosporin depending on the probability of the risk of a real allergy to penicillin, according to the description of the former reaction.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and outcome of systematic drug provocation testing with anaesthetics at therapeutic doses in adult patients undergoing diagnostic work-up for perioperative hypersensitivity.
Penicillin allergy testing among surgical patients
Use of first-line pre-operative antibiotic prophylaxis is the most effective measure to optimize perioperative outcomes. However, this is often not achieved due to unsubstantiated penicillin allergy labels. Penicillin allergy evaluation, when incorporated into routine pre-operative assessment, is potentially effective in optimizing choice of surgical prophylaxis. Despite the encouraging data mentioned above, there is a lack of randomized trials or local data to support this practice.
The purpose of this study is to characterize immune cells using single-cell transcriptomic analysis in pediatric patients aged 2 to 18 years undergoing general anesthesia who are expected to receive Rocuronium, a non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent, in the event of an allergic reaction.
There are limited studies on perioperative hypersensitivity (POH) reactions in children. The diagnosis of POH might be underestimated due to the difficulty of recognizing the reactions. Anaphylaxis may go unnoticed due to the unconscious state of the patient. Urticaria may be overlooked due to the sterile covers. This study aimed to evaluate POH reactions prospectively.
The aim of this study is to find out whether TAK-880 creates hypersensitivity reactions compared to Gammagard S/D by testing blood taken from participants who have a higher risk of becoming hypersensitive to immunoglobulin products. This study is about collecting data available in the participant's medical record. No study medicines will be provided to participants in this study. Each participant will fill out a study questionnaire during a routine doctor visit. Blood will be taken from participants who have a higher risk of developing hypersensitivity reactions to immunoglobulin products.
