## Contribution

The novel contribution is demonstrating the safety and economic value of antibiotic allergy evaluations in pediatric solid organ transplant recipients.

## Key findings

- Antibiotic allergy evaluations can be safely performed in pediatric solid organ transplant patients.
- Sulfonamide allergy delabeling was found to have positive economic value.

## Abstract

Antibiotic allergies can complicate the treatment and prophylaxis of bacterial infections in the pediatric solid organ transplant population. This single-center retrospective study revealed that antibiotic allergy evaluations and testing could safely and effectively be performed in this population group, with a positive economic value associated with sulfonamide allergy delabeling.
