Differences in beta-lactam and penicillin allergy: Beyond the West and focusing on Asia-Pacific
Frontiers in Allergy, 2022 Beta-lactam (BL) antibiotic “allergy” labels are common, but often overdiagnosed. Although much research has been focused on the BL allergy and the delabelling process in the West, studies from other parts of the world remain sparse. This review outlines
