A member asked:
Why does ampicillin cause a rash in many ebv infected patients?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I don't know why but: It is a well known reaction that pts with EBV - virus that causes mono - and take a penicillin antibiotic will break out with a rash. This is not an allergic reaction to the antibiotic.
