, ceftriaxone and cefixime) have lower cross-reactivity with IgE-mediated penicillin-allergic patients (<1%) compared with first- and second-generation Cephalosporins can cause IgE-mediated allergic reactions, which are characterized by urticaria, angioedema, bronchospasm, and anaphylactic shock, typically within 1 hour
) (patients 7 and 16) and 3 cross-reactive responses: patient 6 with ceftriaxone and cefuroxime, patient 14 with cefuroxime, and patient 30 with ceftriaxone
Objective: We sought to assess the cross-reactivity with cephalosporins and evaluate the possibility of
• Not recommended for cold or flu, since they're not typically caused by a bacterial infection
These assumptions are based on structural similarities or structural differences in the R1 side chain; published data are scant or lacking
faecium
For example: in patients with a penicillin allergy, cefazolin, ceftriaxone, and meropenem all have dissimilar R1 side chains and have rates of adverse Inconsistent definitions of allergic reaction resulting in overestimation of cross-reactivity Patients allergic to ampicillin should avoid cephalosporins with identical R-group side chains (cephalexin and cefaclorNF) 2nd Generation Cephalosporin (cefuroxime, cefoxitin) 1

Methods We searched Medline and EMBASE data-bases for English-language articles using the keywords cephalosporin, penicillin, allergy, and cross-sensitivity for the years 1960 to 2005
