Anaphylaxis in a Newborn Due to Ampicillin
Journal Title: The Journal of Pediatric Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Anaphylaxis, an allergic reaction that is rapid in onset, is rare in the neonatal period due to immaturity of the immunological system. A case of threeday- old male neonate with ampicillin-induced anaphylaxis is reported here. Although drug allergies are rare in newborns, due to their life-threaten features, close monitoring is important.
