Alleged Allergy to Penicillin and Isolation Issues: Toward New Practices for French Navy?
CONCLUSIONS: A study of medical records shows that the allergic risk is not anticipated for 74.5% of patients labeled allergic, despite the difficulties encountered at sea. Standardization of practices within the French Navy is necessary to avoid the prescription of second-line antibiotics, less effective and sometimes unavailable on board, and to improve patient safety in isolation situations. In agreement with French military allergists, we propose, in this article, guidelines for a systematic exploration of allegations of allergy to penicillin in the French Navy.PMID:33861325 | DOI:10.1093/milmed/usab141

T cells recognize recent SARS-CoV-2 variants
(NIH/National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases) When variants of SARS-CoV-2 emerged, concern arose that they might elude protective immune responses generated by prior infection or vaccination, potentially making re-infection more likely or vaccination less effective. NIAID researchers and colleagues analyzed blood cell samples from 30 people who had contracted and recovered from COVID-19 prior to the emergence of virus variants. They found that one key player in the immune response to SARS-CoV-2--the CD8+ T cell--remained active against the virus.

A Failure of Rapid Drug Desensitization
We present the case of a patient who was unable to tolerate rapid drug desensitization protocol to receive a continuous penicillin (PCN) G infusion for the treatment of neurosyphilis. A 38-year-old male with past medical history for human immunodeficiency virus, migraines, PCN allergy, doxycycline allergy, shellfish allergy, and untreated latent syphilis presented to the emergency room for a posterior migraine with associated nausea, vomiting, photophobia, right-sided paresthesias, and "shaky" vision. He was diagnosed with neurosyphilis and underwent rapid drug desensitization with the goal to receive a continuous infusion...
