BACKGROUND
Anaphylaxis after the administration of tissue expanders has been reported. Late onset hypotension, thrombocytopenia, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and pulmonary edema due to the tissue expanders have not been reported.
METHODS
In this case report, late onset hypotension,
Nine episodes of fulminant noncardiogenic pulmonary edema after cardiopulmonary bypass were observed in eight patients between September 1977 and December 1982. All these catastrophic reactions occurred during administration of fresh frozen plasma 30 minutes to 6 hours after discontinuation of
OBJECTIVE
To describe an atypical presentation of intraoperative anaphylaxis due to fentanyl.
METHODS
A 40-yr-old otherwise healthy woman was admitted for abdominal hysterectomy. She denied any drug allergies or past adverse anesthetic reactions. Physical examination, vital signs, and laboratory
A case of severe anaphylactoid reaction following injection of intravenous contrast is described, and a discussion of the treatment of severe allergic reactions follows. The patient's presentation was unusual in that she rapidly developed massive non-cardiac pulmonary edema as the primary symptom,
A technique for measuring the increase in conjunctival thickness which accompanies a clinically relevant, topically induced model of ocular anaphylaxis was developed and was compared with the determination of an increase in percent of degranulated mast cells in affected tissue. Twenty rats immunized
Anaphylaxis is a rapid allergic reaction that may cause sudden death. Currently, postmortem diagnosis of anaphylactic shock is sometimes difficult and often achieved through exclusion. The aim of our study was to investigate whether Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) microspectroscopy combined with
Two cases of atypical anaphylactoid reactions to intravenous iron dextran in hemodialysis patients are described. Anaphylactic reactions to iron dextran in dialysis patients are not uncommon. Pulmonary edema is not generally seen in anaphylaxis. Our patients both developed significant pulmonary
Systemic exacerbation of allergic responses, in which mast cells play a critical role, results in life-threatening anaphylactic shock. Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), a ligand for a family of G protein-coupled receptors, is a new addition to the repertoire of bioactive lipids secreted by activated
OBJECTIVE
The Food and Drug Administration's Mini-Sentinel pilot program initially aims to conduct active surveillance to refine safety signals that emerge for marketed medical products. A key facet of this surveillance is to develop and understand the validity of algorithms for identifying health
