Adult respiratory distress syndrome related to ampicillin sensitivity

RH Poe, JJ Condemi, SS Weinstein and RJ Schuster

A patient with the adult respiratory distress syndrome was found to have an alveolar allergic reaction demonstrated by transbronchial lung biopsy. The clinical course and subsequent skin test reactivity suggested ampicillin as the cause. This is an unusual presentation of ampicillin allergy, and drug sensitivity is suggested as another cause of the adult respiratory distress syndrome.
