All providers are familiar with long, dubious allergy lists pointing to a rash around the time a medication was taken. Given the endless list of competing causes for rash, misattribution to medications is wildly common as many studies by pharmacists have shown. The result is “allergy jail”, where angry pop ups limit our treatment options, impact antibiotic stewardship, and often follow a child into adulthood. This week's case will investigate principles to correctly identify when rashes and other associated symptoms are (and more frequently are not) attributable to a medication taken.
