ABSTRACT
Latex is the second most common cause of anaphylaxis during anesthesia. The increasing number of reports of latex-induced anaphylaxis are a major concern for anesthesiologists. We encountered a 56-year-old male patient who developed severe anaphylactic shock whilst under anesthesia when the tourniquet was deflated during elbow arthrolysis. A subsequent allergy workup revealed an IgE mediated hypersensitivity to latex. This case highlights the need for anesthesiologists to be able to diagnose the signs and symptoms of allergic reactions in patients under anesthesia.
