DIRECT ORAL AMOXICILLIN CHALLENGE WITHOUT PRELIMINARY SKIN TESTING IN PATIENTS WITH REPORTED PENICILLIN ALLERGY

10% of hospitalized patients report penicillin allergy; studies indicate that ∼98% are not truly allergic. Unconfirmed penicillin allergy labels pose public health risks, and evaluation is recommended to improve antibiotic stewardship. While the most widely accepted protocol is penicillin skin testing (PST) followed by oral amoxicillin challenge, time constraints and resources may preclude this. Recent literature supports the safety and efficacy of direct oral amoxicillin challenge in low-risk individuals.
