Skin testing only with penicillin G in children with a history of penicillin allergy.

CONCLUSION: Among children with a history of penicillin allergy, skin testing only with penicillin G followed by a 3-dose graded challenge to the incriminated penicillin is safe and yields a good NPV. This approach could be useful when PPL is unavailable. PMID: 24856884 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
