Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Recognize that all individuals with an unconfirmed penicillin allergy should have their penicillin allergy evaluated, and if appropriate tested to confirm current hypersensitivity or tolerance.
- Recognize that low-risk individuals, with penicillin reaction histories unlikely to be IgE-mediated, can safely go to a direct oral amoxicillin challenge with a therapeutic dose to confirm current tolerance.
