Article Abstract
Inaccurate penicillin allergy labels may be delabelled following evaluation. The intervention in this study was an email-based notification system regarding the appropriateness for penicillin allergy evaluation, with a view to delabelling, as identified by a deep learning artificial intelligence algorithm. Of the intervention group (n = 59), three (5.1%) individuals had their penicillin allergies delabelled, which was significantly more than the control group (0%, P = 0.002). Further research to optimise such approaches is required.

Skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) represent a diverse spectrum of conditions, including erysipelas, cellulitis, cutaneous abscesses, necrotizing fasciitis, and myonecrosis. Erysipelas and cellulitis are the most common community-acquired SSTIs. Erysipelas is typically caused by pyogenic streptococci, while cellulitis often has a staphylococcal etiology.

Background: Penicillin allergies are reported in 1 in 10 hospitalised patients globally and are associated with inferior patient and health service outcomes. However, more than 95% of low-risk penicillin allergies can be removed by direct oral challenge (DOC).
Objective: The International Network of Antibiotic Allergy Nations (iNAAN) aims to evaluate the utility of an audit and feedback (A&F) and education implementation strategy to increase the adoption of penicillin DOC in patients with a low-risk penicillin allergy, while concurrently assessing the impact of penicillin DOC on antibiotic prescribing and health service outcomes.

Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a rare, life-threatening mucocutaneous condition, most commonly triggered by drugs, with particularly high mortality in elderly populations. The medications most frequently associated with TEN include antibiotics such as sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim (sulfonamides), penicillins, cephalosporins, and quinolones (e.g.

Background: A subset of patients experience immune-mediated hypersensitivity reactions towards β-lactam antibiotics, with drug-specific T cells implicated as one of the causative factors. The principal mechanism is thought to involve chemical haptenation of self-peptides, resulting in novel peptide drug-adducts that may trigger T cell recognition. Understanding the interactions between the β-lactam drug, the T cell receptor (TCR) and the peptide/human leukocyte antigen (pHLA) complex is critical to gain further mechanistic insights into these hypersensitivity reactions.
