About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to validate a newly developed test in the diagnosis of patients with amoxicillin allergy (i.e. T-cell activation test). The main questions the study aims to assess are the reliability and applicability of this test. Participants will be asked to visit the hospital 1, 3 or 5 times during which blood is collected and when applicable, allergy skin testing is performed.
