[Anaphylactic shock related to aprotinin induced by anti-aprotinin immunoglobulin G antibody alone; report of a case].
Anaphylactic shock related to aprotinin has been reported to be induced exclusively in the presence of IgE antibody. And the possibility of anaphylactic shock induced by anti-aprotinin IgG antibody alone was controversial. In this paper, we describe the first case of anaphylactic shock induced by aprotinin-specific IgG antibody alone. A 55-year-old man underwent surgical repair of the descending aorta with the use of aprotinin at 2 months after first aprotinin usage. Immediately after initiation of cardiopulmonary bypass with the continuous infusion of aprotinin, clinical symptoms of anaphylactic reaction were found. Postoperative drug lymphocyte stimulation test for aprotinin and aprotinin-specific IgE antibody were negative, but aprotinin-specific IgG antibody was 163 mg/l and positive.
