Approximately 10% of patients report an allergy to penicillin however up to 90% of these patients do not have a true allergy. The incidence of anaphylaxis to penicillin is 0.02% to 0.04% and is mediated by a type 1 hypersensitivity reaction. Overall, cutaneous eruptions are the most commonly reported reaction.
Acute reactions result from reaction with preformed IgE to penicillin as a result of previous exposure. The resulting release of histamine and other mediators from mast cells produce the signs and symptoms typical of a true anaphylactic reaction.
