Allergy ? - anon
Posted: Apr 07, 2010
According to AAMT BOS, are allergies to be capitalized?
Not unless they're a name-brand med...sm - Lilly
[ In Reply To ..]If the BOS said different, I personally would ignore it. You might be asked to bold the allergy but I don't see why a generic drug would need to be capitalized or shrimp or dairy, in my humble opinion.
This is the preferred format, but.... - qMT
[ In Reply To ..]I know the BOS lists this as the preferred format, but I think it really depends on the account specifics at the facility you work for. I work at several different hospitals, and each has a preference for how they want the allergies listed - some want them capped, others want them capped and bolded, and others want them in regular text.
I would stick to whatever your account specifics say, but for an exam or something like that, I would stick with the capped allergies as the BOS suggests.

Hi, I'm transcribing a doctor's note that's describing the patient's allergies and how the patient has tried various OTC drugs, including 'pseudometafecin' but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to spell that correctly; I've tried all of the different variations that I can think of (sudometofecin, pseudometaphecin, etc.) and tried looking up 'allergy medications' and coming up with squat. I have a feeling I'm very close to how it may ...
