Zusammenfassung

Die vorliegende Leitlinie (S2k) zur Diagnostik bei Verdacht auf eine Betalaktamantibiotika-Überempfindlichkeit wurde von den deutschen allergologischen Fachverbänden und der österreichischen allergologischen Fachgesellschaft sowie der Paul-Ehrlich-Gesellschaft für Chemotherapie im Konsens nach den Kriterien der Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Wissenschaftlichen Medizinischen Fachgesellschaften (AWMF) erarbeitet.

Betalaktamantibiotika (BLA) wie Penicilline und Cephalosporine sind die Substanzgruppe, welche am häufigsten Arzneimittelallergien auslöst. Die anamnestische Angabe einer vermuteten Allergie übersteigt jedoch in ihrer Häufigkeit deutlich die bestätigten Fälle. Die große Anzahl vermuteter BLA-Allergien hat einen großen Einfluss, unter anderem auf die Behandlungsqualität des einzelnen Patienten sowie die Kosten für die Allgemeinheit.

Allergien auf BLA beruhen auf unterschiedlichen immunologischen Mechanismen und äußern sich häufig als makulopapulöse Exantheme, aber auch als Anaphylaxien; daneben finden sich verschiedene Sonderformen der Arzneimittelallergien. Allen BLA gemeinsam ist der Betalaktamring. Eingeteilt werden die BLA in verschiedene Klassen: die Penicilline, Cephalosporine, Carbapeneme, Monobactame und Betalaktamaseinhibitoren mit unterschiedlichen Strukturmerkmalen. Von großer klinischer Bedeutung ist die Kenntnis über mögliche Kreuzreaktivitäten. Eine Unverträglichkeit gegenüber allen BLA tritt nur bei einem geringen Prozentsatz aller Allergiker auf, häufiger sind Kreuzreaktivitäten bei Seitenkettenähnlichkeiten wie Aminopenicillinen und Aminocephalosporinen oder auch den Methoxyiminocephalosporinen. Das Bild insgesamt ist jedoch komplex und bedarf weiterer Studien zur Aufklärung.

Die Diagnostik besteht üblicherweise aus vier Bausteinen: der Anamnese, der Labordiagnostik, Hauttestungen, welchen ein großer Stellenwert zukommt, sowie der Arzneimittelprovokationstestung. Das Vorgehen der Diagnostik, aber auch im akuten Bedarfsfall der BLA-Gabe ist an der Patientenhistorie und dem Einzelfall orientiert. Ergänzend zu den bisherigen Erkenntnissen besteht auch hier weiterer Studienbedarf.

Die Durchführung der allergologischen Diagnostik bei Verdacht auf eine BLA-Überempfindlichkeit ist zugunsten einer guten medizinischen Versorgung des Einzelnen, aber auch aufgrund der immensen Auswirkungen mutmaßlicher BLA-Allergien für die Allgemeinheit dringend zu empfehlen.
