A label of beta-lactam allergy carries important risks for individual and public health. This article provides an overview of beta-lactam allergy, implications of erroneous beta-lactam allergy labels and the impact that can be provided by structured allergy assessment. We provide recommendations on how to stratify risk of beta-lactam allergy, beta lactam challenge protocols as well as management of patients at high risk of beta-lactam allergy.Practical guide for evaluation and management of beta-lactam allergy: position statement from the Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical ImmunologyJournal ArticleenThe Author(s)2020-12-01
