Is a positive intracutaneous test induced by penicillin mediated by histamine? A cutaneous microdialysis study in penicillin-allergic patients.

Abstract:

Background:Diagnostic workup of penicillin allergy comprises skin testing with penicillins, and patients are deemed allergic if skin test is positive. However, the literature suggests that skin test-positive patients may be challenge-negative, indicating that the skin test may be falsely positive. Objective:To investigate real-time histamine release from a positive intracutaneous test induced by penicillin in patients with positive and negative challenges to penicillin. Methods:Skin microdialysis was performed in 21 penicillin-allergic patients with positive skin test, 13 non-allergic volunteers serving as negative controls, and 7 grass pollen-allergic patients serving as positive controls. Histamine was measured by microdialysis after skin test with penicillin/grass/NaCl. Penicillin challenge was subsequently performed in 12 of the patients. Results:Only 10/21 patients (47.6%) were skin test positive at microdialysis. During microdialysis 13 single intracutaneous tests were positive and histamine was detected in 4/13 occurring in four challenge positive patients. Thirteen/21 patients (61.9%) were deemed allergic to penicillin; eight had positive skin test. Two patients with positive skin test were challenge negative. In grass pollen allergic patients, 7/7 had a positive intracutaneous test to grass and all released histamine in the wheals. All 13 negative controls had negative intracutaneous test to penicillin and no histamine release. Conclusion:Histamine was only detected in the minority of positive intracutaneous tests with penicillin in penicillin-allergic patients. Other mediators may be involved.
