Abstract
Many patients who believe themselves allergic to an antibiotic could in fact be given the suspected drug or a related agent safely. A systematic approach incorporating knowledge of immunopathogenic mechanisms, availability and limitations of diagnostic tests and therapeutic options will lead to successful management of these challenging patients.Keywords
