M061 anaphylaxis in multi-drug therapy for h. pylori in a patient with cleared amoxicillin allergy

Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) is a common gastrointestinal infection that typically requires multi-drug therapy for its cure. There are few published case reports on anaphylaxis to proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), a key component to H. pylori therapy. These case reports include patients undergoing treatment for H. pylori. H. pylori has also been associated with chronic urticaria, which can confound the clinical diagnosis of a drug reaction.
