Evaluating the Usefulness of Retesting for Beta-Lactam Allergy in Children.
(2012) In Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal 31(10). p.1091-1093- Abstract
- Many children with adverse reactions to beta-lactams are labelled as allergic without performing an allergy study to confirm it. In this retrospective study of 10 years, we have detected only 3.3% positive cases. Although International Guidelines recommend a second allergy work-up in patients with a negative study, we found from our results a low profitability of retesting.
