Serotonin syndrome can occur, and concurrent use is contraindicated with many anti-depressants [63]. https://doi.org/10.1002/pds.1117, Article J Allergy Clin Immunol. Two of the 31 patients had delayed reactions of erythema, edema, and pruritus that occurred after 72 from the clindamycin intradermal skin testing [58]. Patch testing can be useful to evaluate delayed cutaneous reactions, and patch testing concentrations have been reported for aminoglycosides, clindamycin, and metronidazole. Structural groups: a streptidine; b, c, and d deoxystreptamines. For aminoglycosides, allergic contact dermatitis is the most frequent reaction for which patch testing can be a useful step in evaluation. However, the skin testing for the drugs discussed in this review are not standardized or validated and the positive and negative predictive values are largely unknown. Among 13 patients with delayed reactions, none of the patients had a positive SPT although 3 of the patients had a positive oral challenge [58]. Neomycin-induced contact dermatitis occurs especially in patients with atopic eczema, chronic conjunctivitis or otitis, leg ulcers, and long-term cutaneous use of the drug [1]. A potential for cross-reactivity exists between metronidazole and other imidazoles, such astinidazole, clotrimazole, ketoconazole,miconazole, andalbendazole [8, 87] given structural similarities [8]. J Clin Pharm Ther. Although allergic reactions caused by clindamycin are rare, immediate and delayed skin reactions has been previously reported [2-9]. Allergic contact dermatitis, a type IV hypersensitivity reaction, is the most frequent reaction associated with this class of antimicrobials [8]. For linezolid, cases of hypersensitivity were exceedingly rare and included urticaria, angioedema, anaphylaxis, delayed rashes, and DRESS. J Clin Pharm Ther. Pharm: J Pharm Educ Practice. Clindamycin is frequently implicated in antibiotic-associated diarrhea due to Clostridium difficilecolitis which can cause pseudomembranous colitis. Download available Content available from Clinical Reviews in Allergy & Immunology This content is subject to copyright. 72 Apart from exanthematous eruptions, cases reported in the literature include contact dermatitis, . Therefore, all deoxystreptamine-containing aminoglycosides are contraindicated if a patient has a known hypersensitivity to another deoxystreptamine-containing aminoglycoside [1, 7]. Clin Pediatr. Infectious disease recommendations are useful for individual cases. Protocols for IV tobramycin desensitization have been reported. Oral challenge in a controlled and monitored environment may be useful for provoking and diagnosing hypersensitivity reactions to these antibiotics. Guvenir et al.

Metronidazole diffuses across cell membranes and is partially reduced by anaerobic bacteria and protozoa generating toxic free radicals and disrupting nucleic acid synthesis [72]. Management of trichomonas vaginalis in women with suspected metronidazole hypersensitivity. Historically, AGEP has rarely been associated with clindamycin. There have been increasing numbers of case reports of AGEP with clindamycin in the recent literature [47,48,49,50,51,52,53]. Br Med J. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.2.5711.703, Mazur N, Greenberger PA, Regalado J (1999) Clindamycin hypersensitivity appears to be rare. De Cruz R, Ferguson J, Wee JS, Akhras V. Acute localised exanthematous pustulosis (ALEP) induced by clindamycin in pregnancy. Allergic contact dermatitis is the most frequent reaction associated with aminoglycosides, particularly topical neomycin for which patch testing can be useful and is validated. Aminoglycosides are classified into two main structural groups including the streptidine group consisting of streptomycin and the deoxystreptamine group consisting of gentamicin, tobramycin, neomycin, amikacin, kanamycin, plazomicin, and paromomycin [1,2,3,4,5,6] (Fig. AGEP is usually drug-induced and often related to antibiotics such as beta-lactams or macrolides. World Allergy Organ J. https://doi.org/10.1186/1939-4551-6-18, Article Delayed reactions begin later than one hour (and sometimes days) after the first dose. There have also been case reports of linezolid-associated reactions such as interstitial nephritis and DRESS [68]. Contact reaction rates for neomycin have decreased in Canada and are now similar to Europe, a trend likely influenced by the reduced availability of over-the-counter and prescription neomycin topical products in Canada [15]. Metronidazole is a nitroimidazole with structural similarities to tinidazole, clotrimazole, ketoconazole, miconazole, andalbendazole [72] (Fig. Cases of delayed allergic reaction to clindamycin have been confirmed with positive in-vitro lymphocyte transformation tests (LTTs) [43, 61]. J Investig Allergol Clin Immunol. Pseudomembranous colitis and neuropathy have also been reported. report a patient experiencing severe itching and lip swelling during a second course of oral metronidazole for Trichomonas vaginalis infection [73]. Other cutaneous manifestations like urticaria and DRESS have been reported [23, 24]. The most common adverse effect associated with clindamycin is diarrhea. Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis induced by clindamycin. FOIA Careers, Unable to load your collection due to an error. Given the high likelihood of false negative results on patch testing, careful monitoring is required when reintroducing the antibiotic since patch testing might not be enough to confirm absence of delayed reactions [1]. Acta Derm Venereol. Yang and Xu report a case of a patient with angioedema and urticaria 12h after initiation of linezolid for an Enterococcus faecium infection [66]. Retrieved from, National Center for Biotechnology Information (2020) PubChem Compound Summary for CID 8378, Neomycin. Oral clindamycin desensitization protocol for immediate hypersensitivity [62], Intervals between doses were 30min, for a total of 4.5h. Linezolid is an oxazolidinone, a heterocyclic molecule with a nitrogen and oxygen in a 5-membered ring bridged with a carbonyl group [63] (Fig. Reported concentrations utilized for antibiotic skin testing. Neomycin is one of the most common sensitizers among topical medications in general [1, 9, 10]. A small number of the case studies described positive skin testing to metronidazole correlating with patient history including positive SPT using 125mg/mL [79] and patch testing varying from concentrations of 0.5 to 50% in petrolatum [75, 77, 79, 82, 84]. There have been a few reported cases of possible anaphylaxis to aminoglycosides. Seitz CS, Brcker E, Trautmann A. There was a case of a patient with diffuse confluent non-blanching petechiae and purpura 9days after starting linezolid with a punch biopsy showing a perivascular inflammatory infiltrate without noted changes of leukocytoclastic vasculitis [67]. Kandula S, Burke WS, Goldfarb JN. Immediate hypersensitivity reactions to linezolid have been reported with symptoms including urticaria, skin flushing, and angioedema [6466]. Hypersensitivity reactions including IgE-mediated and delayed cell-mediated reactions to aminoglycosides, clindamycin, linezolid, and metronidazole are rare. Aminoglycoside hypersensitivity is relatively uncommon, and evaluation is often warranted only if there is an imminent need for treatment with this class of antibiotics, a clinical scenario most often encountered in patients with cystic fibrosis [25].
