1. "Allergic reaction to vaccines should be investigated"
"Some people have an allergic reaction after having an immunization, an experience that often -- and quite naturally -- leads to an avoidance of any future immunizations... However, when a serious reaction occurs, the patient should be evaluated by an allergist to determine the culprit allergen. This can be done through allergy testing. Vaccine components that could cause reactions include gelatin or egg protein, yeast, latex from the syringe plungers, neomycin and thimerosal."
Shari Roan, LosAngeles Times -- 10/9/2009

2. "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

3. "Adverse reactions to antibiotics"
"All antibiotics are potentially harmful, and various benefit-to-risk factors must be considered whenever they are used. 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

4. "Neomycin sensitivity and the MMR vaccine."
"Neomycin sensitivity and the MMR vaccine. "
Rietschel RL, et al, JAMA; 245(6):571. -- 2/13/1981
