Abstract
A 35-year-old female had severe anaphylactoid reactions to pnlocaine and lignocaine on separate occasions Intradermal testing was positive to serial dilutions of both drugs and negative to bupivacaine, which was subsequently used uneventfully While intradermal testing for local anaesthetic allergy has limited application it would appear that when such texts are positive in high dilution they may discriminate between safe and unsafe anaesthetic agents.
