The highest prevalence of AALs has been found to be in immunocompromised patients, in particular transplant patients, with a large U.S. study reporting a prevalence of 29% amongst solid organ and stem cell transplant recipients2 . Whilst studies have demonstrated that AALs in transplant patients are associated with the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics2 , the impact of antibiotic allergy testing (AAT) on antibiotic use in this patient cohort remains ill defined. | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/23790 | DOI: | 10.1111/tid.13411 | ORCID: | 0000-0001-5303-1300 0000-0002-5111-6367 |
