title: Anaphylactoid reactions to the nonvascular administration of water-soluble iodinated contrast media.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Anaphylactoidlike reactions occur during the nonvascular administration of iodinated contrast media. Many of these reactions have been severe. These reactions have occurred with many procedures, including gastrointestinal imaging, cystography, sialography, and hysterosalpingography.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This article reviews reports of these reactions. It also reviews what the literature recommends concerning how to deal with individuals undergoing these procedures who are at a higher risk for anaphylactoidlike reactions.
