    Uploaded by

    super0113
    This document presents a chart showing potential cross-sensitivities between various parenteral antibiotics. It indicates that patients with allergies to certain antibiotics like penicillins and cephalosporins may also react to other antibiotics, while some antibiotics like carbapenems carry little risk of cross-reactivity. The chart uses symbols to represent the level of potential cross-sensitivity between each antibiotic pair.

    * = May consider using if non-anaphylactic reaction to the penicillin or cephalosporin; monitor closely
    ** = There is little potential for cross-reactivity between penicillin/cephalosporins and carbapenems; however, monitor closely if previous anaphylactic
    reaction to penicillins or cephalosporins
    X = Potential for cross-sensitivity
    Updated: Feb 2014 APSIRES
    Blank = Not cross-sensitive
