Methods for Corinth Penicillin Allergy Testing

Our board-certified allergist can evaluate your penicillin allergy with a Corinth penicillin allergy test. Your Corinth board certified allergist will obtain a thorough history and then perform skin testing. The Corinth penicillin allergy test will involve pricking the skin with penicillin followed by an intradermal test which involves placing a small amount of the penicillin just under the skin. If these tests are negative, it is unlikely that a penicillin allergy is present. In the case of a negative testing a dose of an oral penicillin is given after the testing followed by an observation period. The testing generally takes 2 to 3 hours. After the testing your Corinth board certified allergist will discuss the results with you and answer any questions you may have.
