Filter by:The proposed research project will retrospectively review the anesthetic records over the past 5 years and identify patients who present with a history of penicillin allergy or allergy to an antibiotic in the penicillin family. The reason for that history and the facts on which that allergy are noted will be determined. Additionally, the choice of antibiotic prophylaxis will be recorded and any adverse effect to that antibiotic noted. We will also note whether appropriate timing of the antibiotic is achieved.
The true prevalence of drug allergy in patients with a history of beta-lactam hypersensitivity will be determined by using commercially available standard skin test reagents and the diagnostic agents available in Thailand. We hypothesize that only minority of patients with such a history are truly allergic.
This study aims to compare the readings of skin testing results in patients with suspected penicillin allergy between in-house penicillin test preparation and commercial available penicillin testing kit.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the equivalency of the skin test reactivity to penicilloate prepared by our new method of penicilloate preparation versus our old method of penicilloate preparation. The secondary objective of the study is to evaluate the significance of the different diastereoisomers of penicilloate on skin test reactivity.
The purpose of this study is to examine whether oral challenge with penicillin for patients with a known history of non-life threatening allergic reaction to penicillin is well-tolerated irrespective of skin-testing results
