Abstrakt: A recent report from the Department of Allergy and Immunology in San Antonio, Texas discusses the challenges of managing reported allergies to beta-lactam antibiotics in hospitalized patients. The researchers present a case study of a 16-year-old boy who was initially labeled as having a penicillin allergy but was later found to have a low risk of reaction. The study emphasizes the importance of evidence-based approaches to remove unnecessary antibiotic allergy labels, as multiple reported allergies can lead to poor antibiotic stewardship and have significant health and financial implications. The research has been peer-reviewed and published in the Allergy and Asthma Proceedings journal. [Extracted from the article]
