title: Adverse reaction to prophylactic amoxicillin: a case report.
abstract: Antibiotic prophylaxis is required prior to invasive dental procedures for those patients at risk of bacterial endocarditis. The clinician should be aware of the possibility of allergic reaction to the antibiotics and be prepared for the medical management of the symptoms. This paper presents a case of an allergic reaction to prophylactic amoxicillin administered orally to a patient prior to dental treatment.
