Beta Laktam Alerji Şüphesi Olan Çocukların Değerlendirilmesi: Retrospektif Bir Çalışma

Year 2017, Volume: 11 Issue: 1, 40 - 45, 01.04.2017

Abstract

Amaç: Çocuklarda Beta laktamlara karşı aşırı duyarlılık reaksiyonları sıklıkla bildirilmektedir. Bu çocukların çoğunun alerjik olduğu düşünülmekle birlikte dikkatli bir değerlendirme ile düşük bir yüzdesinde doğrulanmaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı, beta laktamlara aşırı duyarlılık öyküsü olan çocukların klinik verilerini ve tanı metodlarını değerlendirmektir.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Çocuk Alerji ve İmmunoloji Bölümü’ne Haziran 2013-Aralık 2015 arasında şüpheli beta laktam alerjisiyle başvuran hastaların tıbbi kayıtları değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Tıbbi kayıtlardan 33 hastanın verisine ulaşıldı. Bu hastalardan sadece 5 (%13.8)’i alerjikti. Onbeş hastaya deri prik testi, intradermal test ve oral provakasyon testi uygulanmıştı ve bu hastalardan 3’ü şüpheli ilaca aşırı duyarlılık tanısı almıştı (1 amoksisilin, 1 sefuroksim ve 1 hem sefuroksim hem ampisilin). Geç tip kutanöz reaksiyonu olup sistemik semptomu olmayan 18 hastaya penisiloil G ve V spesifik immünglobulin E (IgE) düzeyleri ve oral provakasyon testi uygulanmış ve 2 hasta izole klavulanik asit alerjisi tanısı almıştı.Sonuç: Beta laktam alerjilerine olması gerekenden fazla tanı konulabilir ve kesin tanı için dikkatli bir inceleme gerekmektedir. Geç tip kutanöz reaksiyonları olan hastalar için OPT güvenilir ve etklilidir.

Evaluation of Children with Suspected Beta Lactam Allergy: A Retrospective Study

Year 2017, Volume: 11 Issue: 1, 40 - 45, 01.04.2017

Abstract

Objective: Hypersensitivity reactions to beta-lactams are often reported in children. Although many of these children are considered to be allergic, a careful evaluation only confirms a low percentage. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical data and diagnostic methods used in children with a clinical history of hypersensitivity reactions to betalactams.Material and Methods: The medical records of patients presenting with suspected beta-lactam allergy were evaluated retrospectively between June 2013 to December 2015 at the Dokuz Eylul University’s Department of Pediatric Allergy and Immunology.results: In total, data of 33 patients were obtained from medical records. Only 5 (13.8%) of the patients had an allergy. Skin prick test, intradermal test and oral provocation test (OPT) were administered to 15 (45.4%) patients and 3 of the patients were diagnosed as having hypersensitivity to culprit drugs (1 amoxicillin, 1 cefuroxime and 1 both cefuroxime and ampicillin). A total of 18 patients with non-immediate cutaneous reactions without systemic symptoms were administered penicilloyl G- and V-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) and OPT and 2 patients were diagnosed as having isolated clavulanic acid allergy.conclusion: Beta-lactam allergies could be overdiagnosed and a careful evaluation should be performed for accurate diagnosis. For children with non-immediate cutaneous reactions, OPTs are safe and effective
