Abstract
An asthmatic patient developed intense bronchospasm immediately following the administration of alcuronium and d-tubocurarine in the same anaesthetic. Intradermal test was positive for both of these drugs but negative for thiopentone and suxamethonium, both of which were given prior to alcuronium. The differential diagnosis and the possible mechanism of the reaction are discussed.Keywords
