Incidence of Antibiotic-Related Rash in Children with Epstein-Barr Virus Infection and Evaluation of the Frequency of Confirmed Antibiotic Hypersensitivity

Conclusion: In this study, the incidence of drug hyper ­sensitivity was much lower than previously reported. Some of the reactions that occur during infectious mononucleosis are transient, and some are true drug hypersensitivity reactions. Thus, these patients should be evaluated with allergy tests before these drugs are used again after EBV infection.Int Arch Allergy Immunol
