Skin testing and oral amoxicillin challenge in the outpatient allergy and clinical immunology clinic in penicillin-allergic pregnant women.

CONCLUSION: Penicillin skin testing and oral challenge in pregnant women can safely be performed in the outpatient setting. There was no difference in intrapartum antibiotic use between women who were or were not challenged. Further research is needed to determine the utility of oral challenge in pregnant patients.
