Drug Allergy

Publication Date: October 3, 2022

Key Points

Key Points

  • Significant new information and recommendations update the 2010 drug allergy practice parameter.
  • There is an overall de-emphasis on the use of skin testing as compared with drug challenge.
  • More emphasis is placed on risk stratification based on reaction phenotype.
  • When clinical probability of drug allergy is low, 1- or 2-step drug challenges are the preferred evaluation.
  • For patients with reported penicillin allergy, proactive efforts should be made to delabel and also avoid unnecessary avoidance of non-cross reactive antibiotics.
  • Consideration of phenotypes for adverse reactions to various non-antibiotic drugs (NSAIDs, biologics) should be used to guide evaluation and management.
