Amoxicillin is both a topical and a systemic sensitizer.
Topical sensitization occurs in health care workers.
Systemic drug reactions are frequent, such as urticaria,
maculo-papular rashes, baboon syndrome, acute generalized
exanthematous pustulosis, or even toxic epidermal
necrosis. Cross-reactivity is common with
ampicillin, and can occur with other penicillins.
