Systemic anaphylaxis induced by intradermal testing.
We report the case of a patient who was referred for suspected anaphylaxis with anesthetic drugs. Gallamine was diagnosed the responsible drug and our patient developed anaphylaxis during intradermal testing (IDT) with this compound. IDT should be monitored carefully.
