%X The morbidity potentially associated with unverified penicillin allergy in pregnant
women with group B streptococcus (GBS) colonization is unknown. Penicillin allergy
testing has been shown to be safe in pregnant women, but is done infrequently. We
retrospectively determined healthcare utilization and morbidity in a large cohort
of pregnant women with GBS with and without an unverified history of penicillin allergy.
