Article Synopsis
- There are a lot of people in hospitals who say they're allergic to penicillin, and this can make their treatment harder!
- A study compared patients who had a penicillin allergy and were treated with a special method called desensitization to those treated with other antibiotics!
- The results showed that even though the desensitized patients had more health problems, they didn't have worse outcomes than those who used alternative treatments, suggesting desensitization could be a helpful option!
