“…2 For example, this multidisciplinary approach to RDD should involve not only the right protocols, but also validated diagnostic pathways, dedicated spaces, trained and experienced staff, and even institutional preventative measures for early detection of reactive patients and expedited referral to the allergy department, thus preventing suboptimal management. 4,5,298 The indiscriminate use of allergy-specific techniques (such as DPT and RDD) by non-allergists is frequently recommended against, as it can negatively impact patients in the form of misdiagnosis, unnecessary risks (including death), or surprisingly low rates of successful RDDs. 2,5,21,56 For example, failure to refer patients to an allergy department after a reaction can incur false labels of allergy to the chemotherapeutic drug by overlooking other culprit drugs, as explained by Urena-Tavera et al 10 Studies from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have observed how DPT (or drug challenges) to chemotherapy and biologics conducted by non-allergists expose patients to unnecessary risks.…”
