Anaphylactic reactions incidence in allergic and atopic patients. 1988

Allergy Department, Regional C.F.R. Hospital, Bucharest, Romania.

One thousand and thirty penicillin allergics of immediate type and 1344 pollen allergic patients were examined. It was noticed that none of the penicillin allergics suffered from pollen allergy and none of the atopic patients allergic to pollen had penicillin induced allergy of immediate type. The data obtained were processed through the chi square test in correlation with the incidence of penicillin and pollen induced allergy among the normal population. The conclusion was drawn that atopic patients with pollen allergy show a lower risk than the normal population to have allergic reactions of immediate type to penicillin.

D006969	Hypersensitivity, Immediate	Hypersensitivity reactions which occur within minutes of exposure to challenging antigen due to the release of histamine which follows the antigen-antibody reaction and causes smooth muscle contraction and increased vascular permeability.

D007111	Immunity, Cellular	Manifestations of the immune response which are mediated by antigen-sensitized T-lymphocytes via lymphokines or direct cytotoxicity. This takes place in the absence of circulating antibody or where antibody plays a subordinate role.

D010406	Penicillins	A group of antibiotics that contain 6-aminopenicillanic acid with a side chain attached to the 6-amino group. The penicillin nucleus is the chief structural requirement for biological activity. The side-chain structure determines many of the antibacterial and pharmacological characteristics.
