Research Article: Multisite Oral Amoxicillin Challenges During Pediatric Emergency Department Visits
Abstract:
Approximately 10% of children seen in pediatric emergency departments (PEDs) present with a parent-reported allergy to a penicillin family antibiotic,1 which results in adverse health outcomes and increased costs to families and health care systems.2-4 Delabeling a penicillin allergy through a direct oral challenge (DOC) in low-risk populations has positive health implications.5,6 This study implemented a penicillin allergy delabeling program across 3 sites to evaluate differences in allergy risk level designation, clinician and family willingness to proceed with DOC, and results of a DOC.
