- Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To systematicly review and analyse the clinical characteristics of anaphylactic shock induced by cefazolin sodium with negative skin test, and provide a basis for the safe and reasonable application of cefazolin sodium. METHODS: Databases of PUBMED, EMBASE, CBM, CNKI, VIP and WANFANG data(from built to October 2017)were conducted for case reports published in English or Chinese involving anaphylactic shock induced by cefazolin sodium. Literatures were screened, extracted and statistic analysed by two authors independently. RESULTS: A total of 1 358 literatures were searched out and 18 were included involving 20 patients, the median age was 39.0 years, 60.0% of the patients had no history of penicillin or drug allergy, and 30.0% of the patients had used penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics, and intravenous infusion was the main route of administration. Anaphylactic shock occurred within 30 min accouted for 47.6%, and the longest time occurred on the 7th day of medication. The clinical manifestations were mainly circulatory system damage, and the rescue measures included discontinuation of medicine immediately, prostration, establishment of intravenous channels, oxygen uptake, administration of vasoactive drugs and glucocorticoids, etc., all of which were eventually successfully rescued.The correlation evaluation of ADR was definite and probable in 1 and 19 cases, respectively. CONCLUSION: High attention should be put on anaphylactic shock induced by cefazolin sodium with negative skin test. The proportion of young people and immediate anaphylactic shock were high.The cefazolin sodium skin test is of little value in predicting anaphylaxis. History of medication and allergies of patients should be taken in detail before medication, and the whole-process of medication, especially within 30 min should be closely monitored. Emergency rescue measures of anaphylactic shock should be prepared in advance.
