Abstract
Three patients who developed urticaria shortly after air-contrast barium enema studies of the colon are described. Only a single similar instance was found in the literature. One of the patients had a positive prick skin test to methylparaben, which was the preservative in the barium mixture used and, therefore, is presumed to be the responsible allergen.
