Abstract
A case of anaphylaxis to thiopentone is reported and its immediate treatment with epinephrine is emphasized. Other reported cases of allergic reaction to thiopentone and to muscle relaxants are reviewed. There are no reliable diagnostic tests for allergy to these agents. L’auteur rapporte un cas d’anaphylaxie au thiopental, ainsi que le traitement immédiat de cette condition; l’utilisation de l’adrénaline est soulignée de façon toute spéciale. Les autres cas de réaction allergique au thiopental et aux relaxants musculaires rapportés dans la littérature ont été revus. L’auteur souligne enfin qu’il n’existe pas de test fiable pour déterminer l’hypersensibilité à ces agents.Keywords
