AB  - Penicillin allergy is the most reported immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated reaction. 
      About 10% of the general population and 20% of hospitalized patients have a 
      history of penicillin allergy. Unconfirmed penicillin allergy with subsequent 
      administration of second-line antibiotics has been associated with increased 
      morbidity. However, when penicillin allergy testing is performed, the incidence 
      of IgE-mediated reactions is extremely low; in fact, the negative predictive 
      value of penicillin allergy testing exceeds 99%. This article aims to briefly 
      describe implementing safe penicillin allergy testing as a routine test during 
      the preoperative evaluation of surgical patients.
