Allergists typically evaluate patients in the clinic for an implicated medication, such as an antibiotic or vaccine. Although SSLR may be mistaken for classical serum sickness or anaphylaxis owing to overlapping clinical features, there is minimal evidence for type I or type III hypersensitivity reactions. Despite recent studies showing antibiotic allergy is rarely verified, patients rarely undergo allergy evaluation. A difficulty is that there is no agreement about challenge procedures- multiple-day dosing protocols lead to a risk for hives and joint pain that does not occur with single-day challenges. In addition, tolerance of either challenge protocol does not fully prevent rashes and repeat episodes of SSLR in all nonallergic children who used the culprit or an unrelated antibiotic again. Owing to the distressing symptoms, lack of abortive therapies, and uncertainty with challenge, many health care professionals and families may prefer to bypass allergy evaluation and continue lifelong avoidance. However, medication allergy labels may be associated with poor health outcomes.
