title: Allergic reaction to antibiotics during anesthesia: a case report.
abstract: The increased number of drugs used in anesthetic practice today as well as cross-sensitivity between drugs, have lead to a higher risk of allergic responses. This article describes the evolution and treatment of an allergic reaction, discusses the classification of allergic responses, and details the treatment of anaphylactic/anaphylactoid reactions. The allergic potential of drugs commonly used in the administration of anesthesia is highlighted.
