Abstract
A patient suffered profound anaphylactoid reaction during anaesthesia. Intradermal skin testing confirmed the clinical impression that gallamine caused the reaction. The method of testing is discussed. Previous reports of hypersensitivity to the drug are reviewed, and the use of adrenaline, antihistamines and corticosteroids in patient management are considered.Keywords
