A 54-year-old man developed a severe anaphylactic penicillin allergy after 16 years and 5 standard erysipelas treatments by intravenous benzylpenicillin and/or oral phenoxymethylpenicillin without any symptoms of allergy. It is recommended to analyze specific IgE antibodies for phenoxymethylpenicillin, benzylpenicillin, amoxicillin, and cefaclor to select an appropriate antibiotic.
