Abstract

Antibiotic allergies can complicate the treatment and prophylaxis of bacterial infections in the pediatric solid organ transplant population. This single-center retrospective study revealed that antibiotic allergy evaluations and testing could safely and effectively be performed in this population group, with a positive economic value associated with sulfonamide allergy delabeling.
