Case highlights.

Patient 1: De-Labeling of an Amoxicillin Allergy Patient reported a one-time GI reaction and some tingling after taking eight tablets of amoxicillin on an empty stomach prior to a dental procedure. Patient repeatedly reported during multiple inpatient/outpatient visits that he did not have an allergy but the allergy was never removed from the chart. Pharmacy resident removed the amoxicillin allergy after the interview. However, upon reviewing this patient’s case, penicillin allergy was added to patients’ chart during a subsequent provider visit. The patient tolerated piperacillin/tazobactam, cephalexin, and cefepime after de-labeling.

Patient 2: Mislabeled Dicloxacillin Allergy Patient had a documented dicloxacillin allergy. When asked about this allergy, patient denied the allergy and reported being allergic to doxycycline. De-labeling was performed and doxycycline was added to patient’s allergy list.
