Many Dutch people think they are allergic to antibiotics. More than 1 in 10 people have an antibiotic allergy registered in their medical records. Research shows that this registration is not always correct. It is therefore important to investigate whether or not patients are actually allergic to an antibiotic. If it turns out that the patient does not have an allergy, there are more options for fighting infections.

Here, patients will learn more about what an antibiotic allergy is and how they can work with you as a healthcare provider to find out if an allergy to antibiotics actually exists.
