Risk factors
It isn't clear why some people develop penicillin allergies while others don't. However, certain people seem to be at greater risk of developing a penicillin allergy than others are. Heredity may play a role, as well as exposure to multiple medications over time.

While anyone can have an allergic reaction to drugs in the penicillin family, you appear to be at higher risk if:

You're female
You have HIV/AIDS
You have cystic fibrosis
You've had allergic reactions to penicillin or another drug in the past
