Temporal trends of inpatient oral penicillin challenges in a U.S. veteran cohort with a recorded penicillin allergy
In a U.S. veteran cohort (2014 - 2024) with a listed penicillin allergy, we studied the characteristics of 616 veterans that underwent an inpatient oral penicillin challenge. Notably, almost half of these challenges occurred in 2023 and 2024, suggesting recent uptake of this penicillin allergy evaluation modality within the Veterans Health Administration.
