3390/pharmacy7030103 Abstract Cephalosporins are among the most commonly prescribed antibiotic classes
Allergic reaction to cephalosporins may occur because of sensitization to unique cephalosporin haptens or to determinants shared with penicillins
Recent practice parameters have suggested that in patients with a history of penicillin allergy who have positive penicillin skin test responses, three options are available:
These cephalosporins are semisynthetic analogs with different chemical substitutions on the C7 acylamido chain

Created for people with ongoing healthcare needs but benefits everyone
Preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis is administering antibiotics before performing surgery to help decrease the risk of postoperative infections

Rarely, some people may develop a super- infection due to overgrowth of a naturally occurring
• Inaccurate penicillin allergy documentation can lead to use of second-line antibiotics that may be less effective or more toxic
