Abstract
A woman developed reaginic asthma to the anesthetic thiopental. Reaginic asthma is associated with elevated plasma levels of IgE. Serial determinations of plasma IgE, complement component 3 and complement component 4 were used to categorize the response as type-1-hypersensitivity.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
