Testing Strategies and Predictors for Evaluating Immediate and Delayed Reactions to Cephalosporins

Cosby A. Stone et al.

Summary: This study found that cross-reactivity of cephalosporins is based on shared R1 groupings, and increasing time since the original reaction and having a penicillin allergy label (PAL) with unknown cephalosporin tolerance predicted a lower likelihood of positive skin testing.

Association Between Removal of a Warning Against Cephalosporin Use in Patients With Penicillin Allergy and Antibiotic Prescribing

Eric Macy et al.

Summary: Removing a warning in the electronic health record to avoid cephalosporin use in patients with penicillin allergies led to increased administration and dispensing of cephalosporin, suggesting a potentially useful intervention for improvement in antibiotic stewardship.

Urticaria: The 1-1-1 Criterion for Optimized Risk Stratification in β-Lactam Allergy Delabeling

Vito Sabato et al.

Summary: This study focused on the importance of urticaria characteristics in risk stratification for delabeling patients with a spurious beta-lactam allergy. The results showed that patients with urticaria appearing within 1 hour after the first dose and regressing within 1 day were more likely to have a positive allergy workup. The 1-1-1 urticaria criterion demonstrated high sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value, and positive predictive value for identifying patients at high risk.

Why Was There Ever a Warning Not to Use Cephalosporins in the Setting of a Penicillin Allergy?

Eric Macy

Summary: Avoiding beta-lactam antibiotics in favor of other drugs can lead to worse outcomes for patients. Recent data show that the risks of avoiding cephalosporins outweigh the benefits, challenging the longstanding warning against their use in patients with a penicillin allergy.
