ABSTRACT
Anaphylactic reactions to anesthetic drugs, though rare, may be encountered by anyone involved. The clinical manifestation of the anaphylactic reactions, which may be different from patient to patient, is caused by the histamine released either from the mast cells or basophils or both. Laboratory investigations can determine the source of histamine release. Here, I present a case of anaphylactic reaction to sodium thiopental. The main stay of the treatment is oxygenation, fluids and epinephrine, which was applied in this case also, with successful outcome of the patient.
