Funded Activity Summary

While antibiotic allergy labels are common, the impact on immunosuppressed patients is unknown. This collaboration between Austin Health, Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and Vanderbilt University Medical Centre (USA) will be the first Australian assessment of the impacts of antibiotic allergy labels on immunosuppressed patients. This project will provide strategies to examine the impact of and revise the antibiotic allergy labels with skin prick allergy testing and advanced immunodiagnostics.
