Type B ADRs to antibiotics were frequently reported even in previously healthy children. Physicians should use appropriate techniques (e.g., specialist consulting and skin testing) when they suspect that a type B ADR might be an AA. Labeling and de-labeling programs and tools for type B ADRs related to antibiotics should be implemented to prevent the mislabeling of AA.
