Antibiotics May Raise the Risk of Allergies NYT
Taking an antibiotic was associated with a significantly increased risk for anaphylaxis (a serious allergic reaction), asthma, food allergies, and allergies and inflammation of the skin (dermatitis), respiratory tract (rhinitis) and eyes (conjunctivitis).
- Penicillin increased the risk by 30 percent,
- macrolides by 28 percent and
- cephalosporins by 19 percent
compared to infants who had been given no antibiotic prescriptions.
