Abstract
Methods and patients: Prospective study of 357 patients examined in CT scan unit in Al-Yarmouk teaching hospital, 44 of them had history of penicillin allergy, all given i.v. contrast medium (LOCM), and the prevalence of LOCM related side effects calculated for both groups.
Results: The prevalence of contrast medium related side effect was 0.64% in patients without history of penicillin allergy, while of the 44 patients with penicillin allergy, no side effects has been encountered.
Conclusion: No significant increase in LOCM related side effect was seen in patients with penicillin allergy.
