Penicillin allergy labels are common in hospitalized patients, and there is a frequent misconception that these patients cannot receive cephalosporins. Through retrospective review, we found that patients with reported penicillin allergies were significantly less likely to receive first-line therapy for acute hematogenous osteomyelitis.
青霉素过敏标签在住院患者中很常见,人们普遍存在一种误解,认为这些患者不能使用头孢菌素。通过回顾性研究,我们发现报告有青霉素过敏的患者接受急性血源性骨髓炎一线治疗的可能性显著降低。
