Abstract
An histaminoid reaction after the administration of thiopentone and atracurium is described. Serial blood sampling showed no evidence of complement activation. Intradermal testing 6 weeks later yielded a positive result with atracurium (1 in 1000), but not with thiopentone. The clinical course of the reaction and the subsequent investigations suggest a direct pharmacological liberation of histamine.Entities:
