A clinical decision-making algorithm for penicillin allergy

Abstract: Although the risk of misclassification is low, we cannot recommend the use of this algorithm in general practice. However, the algorithm can be useful in emergency situations in hospital settings. Key messages True penicillin allergy is considerably lower than alleged penicillin allergy (15.8%; 41 of the 259 patients with suspected penicillin allergy). A clinical algorithm based on the patient's clinical history of the supposed allergic event to penicillin misclassified 3/41 (3.7%) truly allergic patients.

“…Nevertheless, according to some studies 77,84,86,95,97,98,103,107,108 (b) Some groups consider the tolerance of a MSUD or DTD enough to exclude a delayed hypersensitivity. 18,29,73,74,80,87,89,92,93,97,98,103,[106][107][108] In the related studies, 18,29,73,74,80,87,89,92,93,97,98,103,[106][107][108] the rate of positive responses to DPT with suspected BL ranged from 0% 29,89 to 7.7%. 106 Other groups believe that a too short exposure to BL (in terms of days) can be responsible for false-negative DPT, this being the rationale for performing DPT with a duration of 2-5 days [69][70][71][75][76]…”

“…The clinical history is not reliable as a diagnostic tool (high/strong) and predictive models, as well as clinical decision‐making algorithms, based on the clinical history of patients with suspicions of allergic reactions to BL have proved to be unable to accurately differentiate between allergic and nonallergic individuals (moderate/strong) . Confirmation or exclusion of BL allergy is mainly based on skin tests (ST), patch tests (PT), and drug provocation tests (DPT) (high/strong).…”
