There were few confirmed cases of either type of reaction. Skin testing proved less valuable in non-immediate reactions, over half of which would also have been lost in a short DPT protocol. Selective responders to amoxicillin were more likely to have non-immediate reactions, while clavulanic acid selectivity was exclusive to the non-immediate typology. Over half the cases with DPTs required 6-7 days of treatment for DHR confirmation.
