Nationwide survey on penicillin allergy delabeling among German healthcare professionals: knowledge, attitudes and perceived barriers
PA delabeling by non-allergists is of great relevance to physicians and pharmacists in Germany but not routinely integrated in clinical pathways, due to missing guidelines, limited resources and unclear role definitions. However, the results of this study highlight the considerable strong potential for implementing structured delabeling strategies-if they are supported by adequate training, clear protocols and sufficiently resourced antimicrobial stewardship teams.
