They are often essential and there is a cost\u2010effective and favourable risk\u2010benefit ratio for the exploration of all suspicions of \u03b2\u2010lactam allergy. A firm diagnosis is always based on skin tests and sometimes on provocation tests. Recommendations have been published by allergy societies and distinguished scientists but they are not always concordant and can lead to some confusion for the practicing allergologist. The situation has even worsened since the world wide withdrawal of these penicillin determinants and since the predominance of amoxicillin and cephalosporin prescriptions in most countries.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Objective \u2013 Method<\/jats:bold>In a recent article, it was stated that patients with a penicillin allergy history and negative skin tests to major and minor penicillin determinants are at a low risk of relapse (0\u20135%) when receiving a \u03b2\u2010lactam. In this paper, our Drug Allergy and Hypersensitivity Database, a cohort database, was used to demonstrate that this statement is false. Standardized European Network for Drug Allergy questionnaires, skin test and challenge procedures were followed.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>One\u2010thousand two\u2010hundred and eighteen subjects, 69.8% of female, 51.7% of atopics, were included. 21.1% had a true \u03b2\u2010lactam allergy confirmed by skin tests (178, 69.3%) or by drug provocation (79, 30.7%). 17.4% of the patients with negative skin tests to major and minor penicillin determinants were positive for a \u03b2\u2010lactam.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion<\/jats:bold>In the diagnosis of \u03b2\u2010lactams allergy, if all skin tests are negative, skin tests with other determinants and provocation tests under strict surveillance are mandatory.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2222.2007.02867.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,11,1]],"date-time":"2007-11-01T08:57:14Z","timestamp":1193907434000},"page":"185-190","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":110,"title":["Oral challenges are needed in the diagnosis of \u03b2\u2010lactam hypersensitivity"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"38","author":[{"given":"P.
