penicillin allergy
Drug reaction condition
An immune reaction to penicillin or related antibiotics, ranging from mild rash to life-threatening anaphylaxis.
People with a penicillin allergy typically wear medical alert bracelets and must inform healthcare providers before receiving antibiotics: The surgeon asked about my penicillin allergy before scheduling the procedure.
Many reported allergies fade over time or were misdiagnosed.
