1. "Adverse reactions to antibiotics"
"Preview: At best they are inconvenient. At worst they complicate treatment, injure patients, and fuel litigation. Adverse antibiotic reactions represent a major cause of iatrogenic illness--a situation that deserves careful and continuous scrutiny."
Gleckman, R et al, Postgraduate Medicine Online: Vol 101 / No 4 Postgraduate Medicine -- 4/1/1997

2. "Adverse reactions to antibiotics"

Adverse reactions occurring with antibiotic use are usually the result of (1) an exaggerated response to the known pharmacologic effects, (2) an immunologic reaction to the drug or its metabolites, or (3) a unique idiosyncratic effect of the compound or its metabolites."
Gleckman, R, MD; et al, Postgraduate Medicine Online: VOL 101 / NO 4 / Postgraduate Medicine -- 4/1/1997
