Issue Date: | Dec-2018 | Date: | 2018-11-17 | Publication information: | Open forum infectious diseases 2018; 5(12): ofy306 | Abstract: | Antibiotic allergies are reported by up to 1 in 4 cancer patients, almost 50% of which are considered low risk and precede the cancer diagnosis. We demonstrate the successful and safe implementation of a pilot oral penicillin challenge program for cancer patients with low-risk penicillin allergies, increasing the use of penicillin and narrow-spectrum beta-lactams post-testing. | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/19955 | DOI: | 10.1093/ofid/ofy306 | ORCID: | 0000-0002-5111-6367 | Journal: | Open forum infectious diseases | PubMed URL: | 30547046 | ISSN: | 2328-8957 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | beta-lactam allergy immunocompromised host oral challenge oral provocation penicillin allergy |
