Abstract
A man with a history of pancreatitis was given aprotinin intravenously just before endoscopic retrograde pancreatography. Despite negative sensitivity tests with aprotinin eye drops he developed a profound anaphylactic reaction on intravenous administration of the drug. Ocular sensitivity tests may not predict severe anaphylactic reactions to intravenous aprotinin.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
