Direct oral provocation test with beta-lactams in Brazilian children and adolescents
>90 % of the sample was delabeled as allergic to BL. There were no severe reactions, confirming the safety of direct OPT in this age group. Among the reactors, 3 patients presented symptoms on the first day of testing before receiving the second dose and one had symptoms on 5 days, indicating that further studies are needed on the optimal duration of the OPT.
