PPP062 - Live! From the Antibiotic Allergy in Practice Workshop 2018

This is Part 2 of our episode recorded live at the Antibiotic Allergy in Practice Workshop at Austin Health. We spoke to Prof Elizabeth Phillips, Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University (USA); Prof Connie Katelaris, Allergist and Immunologist at the University of Western Sydney and Campbelltown Hospital; and Dr James Yun, Allergist and Immunologist and the University of Sydney.

We were really lucky to get to speak to this panel of experts. We asked them about:

• practical aspects of delabelling antibiotic allergies

• the emerging role of genetic testing

• why not all SCARs are created equal

• emerging treatment options for severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs)

• the long-term sequelae of a severe adverse reaction
