Abstract

The first case report of natural rubber-associated allergic reaction was described in Germany in the year 1927: a case of latex associated allergy by type I or immediate hypersensitivity [1]. Despite the increase of latex associated allergy in general population, severe anaphylactic reactions during some surgical procedures are still rare; however, they are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Up to now, natural latex rubber is still the second most common cause for anaphylactic reactions during anesthesia [2]. Prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of patients affected by this event represent a big challenge for anesthesiologists. The objective of this report was to describe the anesthetic management of a patient with known latex allergy and associated allergy to multiple drugs, food and fibres and to take measures to prevent life threatening allergic emergencies.
