Hi Bon, In 2017 in was treated for microbacterium abscesses with 3 antibiotics. Two were through picc lines and azithromycin by mouth. Several weeks into the treatment I broke out in hives. When they started appearing on my face and lips, my Dr sent me to the ER. They suspected azithromycin to be the culprit. My Dr. sent me to a Dr. to be desensitized. It was really quite easy and I had no problem. I went in the morning and the Dr. gaved tiny amount of azithromycin and increased it every few minutes until I eventually took a whole pill. I was closely monitoring while doing this. After successfully being desensitized the Dr told me to continue taking azithromycin and to never miss a dose or I would have to get desensitized again. It must have worked, I never had hives the rest of the treatment. Hope this helps you.
Best wishes, Lisa
