[Cephalosporin allergy and cephalosporin-penicillin cross allergies with special reference to venereologic therapy of severe anaphylactic reactions].
The newer cephalosporins are gaining more and more importance in antimicrobial chemotherapy. This also applies to venereology. Yet before widespread use, their potential for anaphylactic reactions must be defined, as they are not uncommon with penicillin. In fact, the first cephalosporins shared this drawback with penicillin. According to the experimental and clinical data available, the newer cephalosporins, however, should not give rise to severe allergic reactions of the immediate type. This at least holds true for individuals without a history of allergy to beta-lactam-antibiotics but, in fact, not even they should be endangered. This, however, still needs further confirmation.
