Abstract
Paracetamol overdose is a well known subject among most practitioners and is well documented in the literature and textbooks. Anaphylaxis to paracetamol is virtually unheard of, despite occasional unsubstantiated reports in the past. We report a patient with anaphylaxis to paracetamol and review the literature regarding paracetamol hypersensitivity.Keywords
