Viewers will learn how to apply principles of drug allergy history taking and testing to specific antibiotic classes with a special focus on cross-reactivity between beta-lactams such as penicillin and cephalosporins. Patient-specific factors including likely need for antibiotics in settings such as surgery and pregnancy will be discussed.
