Abstract
We report a case of anaphylaxis caused by irrigation with a bacitracin solution during lumbar laminectomy. The patient had been exposed to bacitracin during a previous anterior cervical discectomy. We recommend avoiding the use of irrigation solutions containing bacitracin in patients with previous systemic exposure to this antibiotic.Keywords
