title: [Perioperative anaphylaxis caused by rocuronium allergy in a child].
abstract: During the induction of anesthesia for strabismus correction, a six-year-old boy suffered anaphylaxis with hypotension. Midazolam, propofol, sufentanil, rocuronium, dexamethasone and ibuprofen had been administered. The boy's history failed to reveal any drug allergies. Intracutaneous testings with drugs used for anesthesia and other muscle relaxants verified a positive reaction to rocuronium as well as to cisatracurium, mivacurium, vecuronium and atracurium. There was no reaction to suxamethonium.
