E-DRUG: Penicillin allergy 
--------------------------         
Dear all,

Can anybody perhaps provide some clarification on whether children of 
parents with confirmed penicillin allergy are at higher risk of being 
penicillin allergic than the rest of the population?

Your help will be much appreciated. Best regards
