Method

FEIA (Fluorescence Enzyme Immunoassay) – quantitative determination.

Description

Amoxicillin – a broad-spectrum penicillin antibiotic commonly used in medicine. This test helps to detect the level of sensitization of the body to this drug.

Indications

Diagnosis of allergic reactions to amoxicillin.
Assessment of sensitization level and risk of allergic reactions.
Monitoring the effectiveness of ongoing therapy.
Evaluation of sensitization level after allergen avoidance.
Assessment of immune system status.

Preparation

Have blood drawn in the morning on an empty stomach or 4 hours after eating.
Drinking plain still water is allowed.
Do not smoke for 30 minutes before the test.
Children under 1 year should not eat for 30-40 minutes before the test; children aged 1-5 years should fast for 2-3 hours.

Clinical Significance

Allergy to amoxicillin may occur due to diluents, especially novocaine; therefore, the optimal diluent is injection water. The risk of allergic reaction increases with prolonged or repeated antibiotic courses, especially if treatment starts less than 7 days after the previous course. Antibiotics may be incompatible with certain medications, such as blood pressure drugs (metoprolol, nebivolol, propranolol), increasing the risk of allergy. Heredity also plays a role: if parents had antibiotic allergies, the likelihood of the child developing one increases 15-fold. People with weakened immune systems, HIV-infected individuals, and cancer patients receiving cytostatic drugs should be especially cautious. A history of allergy is also a significant risk factor.
