So if she's not dosed appropriately, the baby can be considered inadequately treated, and that leads to all sorts of other complications. Potential decisions, maybe getting put on antibiotics, maybe going to the NICU. Again, the complications just from this penicillin label are intense. So in this particular scenario, this mom went in to deliver. She was thought to be penicillin allergic.

They gave her vancomycin. She developed Redman syndrome from the vancomycin, which is just what it sounds like, where the body is. becomes completely red and flushed and other medications have to be given. And then she had a wound infection from her C-section because she was still thought to be penicillin allergic.

They gave her clindamycin to treat the wound infection, and she developed C. diff from the clindamycin. And how did that play out? So when you develop C. diff, then you have to be put on oral vancomycin and then treated usually for two weeks. It's just a nightmare. It's one thing after another. And then she came to see me and we were able to clear her of that penicillin allergy.

So her OBGYN, we also rely on the OBGYNs to find people who in their charts have this penicillin allergy. The problem with that is we're not going to test a pregnant woman just on the off chance that she does end up being one of these rare people who's truly allergic. Obviously, we don't want to put a pregnant woman into anaphylaxis.

So we're sort of stuck with that label, which is hard for the OB because then their patient gets a simple infection. They can't use a penicillin. So a lot of the OBs will say to their patients, before you get pregnant again, better go get cleared of your penicillin allergy.
