Think You Have Penicillin Allergy? You May Not

Think You Have Penicillin Allergy? You May Not May 3, 2021 Most people whose medical records say they are allergic to penicillin may not actually be, an allergist said Thursday during the American College of Physicians Internal Medicine Meeting 2021. The mis-diagnosis of an penicillin allergy may be dangerous and hurts efforts to fight antibiotic resistance, said Olajumoke Fadugba, MD, program director for the Allergy and Immunology Fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania Health System in Philadelphia. About 10% of the population reports a history of penicillin allergy , but up to 90% of them are actually able to tolerate penicillin, Fadugba said. The mislabeling comes either because previous reactions were mischaracterized or people have outgrown the allergy.
