[Antibiotics at term. Questions about five severe allergic accidents].
We recently observed five cases of severe maternal allergic accident due to the administration of antibiotics near or at term in order to treat or prevent Early Onset Neonatal Group B Streptococcal Sepsis. We discuss the treatment of a severe maternal allergic reaction and these dramatic observations make us wonder about a reasonable use of antibiotics.
