The following fact sheet can be used to help determine if a patient has an allergy to an antibiotic. Please feel free to distribute this sheet to nurses within your health care setting. It is the first in a series of fact sheets for nurses from the National Surgical Infection Prevention Project. We will post subsequent fact sheets as they become available.
In the meantime, we invite you to post any questions and/or feedback regarding this fact sheet or the topic of allergies to antibiotics to this thread.
