Because of individual differences, the amount of antibody produced is different, so not everyone will cause allergy. The antibody that produces an allergic reaction to penicillin is a globulin called IgE, which is present in the serum, so skin tests can be used to determine whether the antibody exists.

This test is called skin sensitivity test, or skin test for short. If the skin test is positive, penicillin should not be used, otherwise mild or severe allergic symptoms will occur. Therefore, skin test must be done before penicillin injection.
