Patients either underwent direct OPC without ST or ST plus challenge if ST was negative.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The analysis included children with a history of varying rash types\/severity as well as angioedema and reported anaphylaxis. A direct OPC was undertaken in 73 children. Three children reacted with one anaphylaxis. A total of 103 children underwent ST, with 13 children (12.6%) reacting. Of the 90 who subsequently proceeded to OPC, 4 reacted. A total of 132 children were given an extended oral course of the culprit antibiotic, to which 6 children reacted.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>A direct OPC with the culprit drug in Australian children can be safely performed, avoiding resource\u2010intensive and painful ST. Our data demonstrate that a prior history of anaphylaxis does not necessarily predict IgE\u2010mediated allergy, as detected by positive immediate ST or reactions to oral challenge. Such history should not detract from efforts to assess these children for antibiotic allergy. We suggest that extended courses of at least 5 days are important in paediatric antibiotic de\u2010labelling as six children (4.5% of those who were prescribed the extended course) reacted in our study and even developed symptoms late in the extended course, from days 2 to 6.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jpc.14220","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,13]],"date-time":"2018-09-13T08:54:15Z","timestamp":1536828855000},"page":"428-432","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["The
