Özet

Objective: Macrolides are often accepted as safe antibiotics due to their low allergenicity. However, studies on macrolides, particularly studies evaluating cross-reactivity in macrolides, are highly rare in children. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical manifestations, confirmation rate, and frequency of cross-reactivity in children admitted with suspicious clarithromycin or azithromycin allergy.
