Abstract
An uncommon hypersensitivity reaction due to parenteral benzyl alcohol administration is reported. One patient treated with benzyl alcohol-preserved cytarabine, vincristine, and heparin solutions developed a systemic hypersensitivity reaction on three separate occasions. Hypersensitivity to benzyl alcohol was confirmed by skin testing. Clinically, the patient presented with a fever and a maculopapular rash on the chest and arms. None of the reactions were life-threatening or required hospitalization of the patient.Entities:
