Penicillin Allergy testing.
J Pak Assoc Derma Jan ;8(4):30-3.

Penicillin is one of the few drugs that has been found to cause immunologic reactions of all four types and is one of the most common cause of these reactions. The allergic reactions can be fatal, so it is necessary to check penicillin skin sensitivity in all patients who are prescribed this medicine. The procedure should be performed indoor and must be supervised by a doctor. Preferably, IV line should be established before skin testing and all emergency medicines and equipment necessary to handle the anaphylaxis and other allergic reactions must be available at bedside. This is a review article.
