| Abstract | Results: We identified drug allergies listed in 81,395/427,653 patients (19%). There were 150,121 medication allergies documented, as many patients had more than one allergy. Antibiotics accounted for 52,138 (35%) of allergies. Macrolides (5036, 9 % of allergenic drugs) were the third most common antibiotic allergy, behind penicillins and cephalosporins. There was a strong female predominance (77%). When stratifying by age, there was equal male:female ratios for the first two decades, but then female gender was associated with the majority of allergies. This peaked in the age range of 40-59 years in females, and then declined. The number of macrolide allergies in men was stable from the ages of 10-80 years. |
