title: [Allergy to local anesthetics].
abstract: Suspected allergic reaction to local anesthetics is a frequently encountered problem. Although some reactions are proven to result from an allergic mechanism, many remain unexplained, raising various levels of risk depending on the type of hypersensitivity involved. Good clinical management of allergic reactions is now well standardized, allowing for proper identification of the causal agent in proven cases.
