title: Allergy to lactated ringer solution-an unusual case presentation.
abstract: Allergic reactions may be noted by an anesthesiologist during various stages of anesthesia that include induction, maintenance, and post anesthesia care. The incidence of allergic reactions is most common in the perioperative period as a result of various drugs being used concomitantly. It is of paramount importance that an allergic reaction be rapidly diagnosed and adequately treated, because anaphylaxis and acute allergic reactions can occur within minutes in a sensitized individual and can be fatal. Here, we report a case of allergic reaction encountered during induction of anesthesia, after administration of intravenous infusion using lactated Ringer solution.
