    Also, throughout the years, the panel of tested cephalosporins slightly changed, according to removal of some cephalosporins from the French market and the increased utilization of others. Few studies mainly carried out by Romano et al3-7 and Antunez et al2 have evaluated subjects with cephalosporin hypersensitivity and have assessed cross-reactivity with penicillins, on the basis on ST, serum specific IgE assays, and DPT. They found a rate of cross-reactivity ranging from 13.3% to 40.1% in cephalosporin hypersensitive patients (for the most majority of them involving ceftriaxone, ceftazidime, cefaclor, and cefazolin) and penicillin reagents, including PPL, MDM, benzylpenicillin, amoxicillin, and ampicillin.
