A member asked:

Can penicillin cause all four types of hypersensitivity reaction?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Usually it is associated with type 1 hypersensitivity. It may cause type 2 and 3 hypersensitivity. It would take an experimental procedure for penicillin to cause type 4 hypersensitivity.
