[Anaphylactoid reaction after intravenous administration of Gd-DTPA].
An anaphylactoid reaction due to Gd-DTPA was observed in a patient who had disposition of asthma bronchiale. Five minutes after injection of Gd-DTPA, the patient developed laryngeal edema and erythema over the whole body. The patient recovered after treatment. It may be advisable to tighten indications for Gd-DTPA study on patients with allergic disposition. Gd-DTPA should be used with the same care against the anaphylactoid reaction as iodinated contrast media.
