FIGURE 5

Third-, fourth-, and fifth-generation cephalosporin cross-reactivity (continued). Approximately 2% of penicillin allergic patients would be expected to react to a cephalosporin, however this number may exceed 30% when administered cephalosporins with identical R1 side chains. Cefditoren and cefpodoxime are oral cephalosporins with the same side chain.
