Johnson, MD. JAMA Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 74, 85, 86, 92 In fact, IgE antibodies against cephalosporins may be more common than those against penicillin due the widespread use of cephalosporins.
It is indicated for use in the following infections:[8], It can also be used peri-operatively to prevent infections post-surgery, and is often the preferred drug for surgical prophylaxis.

[2][4] Cefazolin is in the first-generation cephalosporin class of medication and works by interfering with the bacteria's cell wall. Stember RH. Editor’s spotlight/take 5: vancomycin prophylaxis for total joint arthroplasty: incorrectly dosed and has a higher rate of periprosthetic infection than cefazolin. Given the high prevalence of penicillin allergy reporting, it is not feasible to test all patients preoperatively, particularly in a timely manner. Cefazolin is bactericidal, meaning it kills the bacteria rather than inhibiting their growth.
However, such trials were conducted in an inpatient setting, and adapting this process on an ambulatory basis would be logistically challenging.

In summary, cephalosporin cross-reactivity in penicillin-allergic patients is not necessarily a class effect, provided that cephalosporins with a side chain different from the penicillin responsible for the allergic reaction are used (Table).87 Anesthesiologists may be hesitant to administer cephalosporins to penicillin-allergic patients due to medicolegal concerns.107 While clinical judgment should be exercised and can be guided by a documented preoperative discussion with the patient regarding the rationale for cephalosporin administration,108 a review of legal outcomes in such cases found limited professional liability and identified precedence for clinicians prescribing cephalosporins to patients with a known penicillin allergy, with judges citing a lack of scientific evidence demonstrating that cephalosporins were contraindicated in patients with a penicillin allergy.107. 14. J Allergy Clin Immunol Pract. 89. [2], Common side effects include diarrhea, vomiting, yeast infections, and allergic reactions. Allergy Asthma Clin Immunol. The medical literature suggests there is greater risk in giving cephalosporin, particularly first generation cephalosporin, to a patient with a history of penicillin allergy than to a patient without penicillin allergy (2-4 fold increased risk).

Am J Health Syst Pharm. Vancomycin is less effective than cefazolin against methicillin-susceptible S aureus.40,41 Mechanisms for these observations include vancomycin’s poor tissue penetration, reduced bactericidal rates, and the gradual reduction in susceptibility of S aureus to the drug.42,43 Vancomycin is thus best reserved either as primary or adjuvant AMP for patients colonized with MRSA or institutions with high prevalence of MRSA, although the evidence in this setting is conflicting.44 Furthermore, compared to cefazolin, vancomycin has a narrow spectrum of antibacterial coverage that does not include Gram-negative pathogens.44 Clindamycin similarly has poor coverage of aerobic Gram-negative bacteria.39,45 Because a variety of surgical procedures are associated with polymicrobial SSI, substitution of cefazolin with vancomycin alone may render the antimicrobial coverage incomplete5; familiarity with recommended AMP regimens for specific procedures is encouraged.
