Multiple Antibiotic Allergy of a Young Woman - Fact or Fiction?
<p>A 20-years-old female was referred to Dermatology Clinic due to multiple common antibiotic allergy appearing as wide urticaria based on urticarial episode 5 years earlier. After investigations, no antibiotic allergy was confirmed. It is important to make at the local Health Care site case descriptions and recordings to the patient files accurately as facts without making an overestimation of the etiology based on only clinical picture. The false positive allergy diagnosis hampers the later treatments and cause avoiding the use of optimal and appropriate medications; dismissing of these results later from the patient’s Medical Risk File is laborious.</p>
