Read SHEA member Dr. Cosby Stone’s article in Mediaplanet’s Future of Personal Health, The Truth About Penicillin Allergies.

Did you know that while about 10% of people report a penicillin allergy, fewer than 1% are truly allergic? Mislabeling can lead to less effective treatments, higher healthcare costs, and increased antibiotic resistance.
