The Standards of Care Committee the British Society for Allergy and Clinical Immunology (BSACI) a committee experts key stakeholders have developed this guideline evaluation testing patients with an unsubstantiated label penicillin allergy. is intended UK clinicians who are not trained in allergy or immunology, but wish to develop de-labelling service their patients. It supplement BSACI 2015 "Management other beta-lactams" therefore does detail epidemiology aetiology allergy, as covered...

ObjectiveThe huge burden of inaccurate penicillin allergy labels (PALs) is an important driver antimicrobial resistance. This magnified by insufficient specialists and lack 'point-of-care' tests. We investigated the feasibility non-allergy healthcare professionals (HCPs) delivering direct oral challenges (DPCs) for de-labelling.MethodsThis prospective observational study was conducted in three hospitals England across settings (acute medical, pre-surgical haematology-oncology). Patients with...

Summary Peri‐operative anaphylaxis is a rare but potentially catastrophic event which must be considered whenever unexpected and significant cardiovascular or respiratory compromise occurs during anaesthesia. The Resuscitation Council UK algorithm for peri‐operative highlights the importance of early intravenous adrenaline fluid resuscitation provides guidance on treatment refractory immediate follow‐up. This endorsed by Royal College Anaesthetists, Association British Society Allergy...

ABSTRACT Background Removing inaccurate penicillin allergy labels (PALs) can reduce unnecessary exposure to ‘watch’ and ‘reserve’ groups of antibiotics thereby antimicrobial resistance. The most efficient model for a non‐allergy‐specialist‐led de‐labelling (PADL) service has not been established. Objective To determine the costs UK National Health Service direct oral challenge (DPC) low‐risk patients with PAL in three hospitals England, each different non‐allergy‐specialist delivery model:...

We describe an observational survey of diagnostic pathways in 104 patients attending four specialist allergy clinics the United Kingdom following perioperative hypersensitivity reactions to chlorhexidine reactions. The majority were life-threatening. Men undergoing urological or cardiothoracic surgery predominated. Skin prick testing and specific immunoglobulin (sIg)E most common tests used for diagnosis. Fifty-three per cent diagnoses made on basis a single positive test. Where multiple...

Abstract Background Six percent of patients are allergic to penicillin according their medical records. While this designation protects a small number truly from serious reactions, those who incorrectly labelled may be denied access recommended first line treatment for many infections. Removal incorrect allergy have positive health consequences the individual and general population. We aimed explore primary care physicians’ (PCPs) patients’ views understanding with focus on clinical...
