ABSTRACT

Background:

sodium carboxymethylcellulose (SCMC) is the sodium salt of a polycarboxymethyl ether of cellulose. SCMC is widely used in pharmaceutical and food industries. We present the case of a 47-year-old man who suffered an anaphylactic shock after an intra-articular injection of Trigon depot®. Methods and

results:

prick and intradermal tests with Trigon depot® and its components (triamcinolone acetonide, Tween 80, benzylalcohol, SCMC), mepivacaine 2% and latex were performed. Challenge test with mepivacaine 2% was also realized. Results showed a positive intradermal test to Trigon depot® and carboxymethylcellulose, with negative results to the rest (including challenge test to mepivcaine 2%).

Conclusions:

our results support the diagnosis of anaphylactic shock after intra-articular injection of carboxymethylcellulose and we consider necessary to emphasize that excipients must be taken into account as a potential source of adverse reactions to drugs (AU)
RESUMEN

Introducción:

la carboximetilcelulosa sódica (SCMC) es la sal sódica de un éter policarboximetílico de la celulosa. SCMC es un producto ampliamente utilizado en industria alimentaria y farmacéutica.Presentamos el caso de un varón de 47 años que sufrió un shock anafiláctico tras recibir una inyección intraarticular de Trigon depot®.Métodos y

resultados:

se realizaron test cutáneos (prick e intradermorreacción) con Trigon depot® y sus componentes (triamcinolona acetónido, Tween 80, alcohol benzílico, SCMC), mepivacaína 2 por ciento y látex. Se realizó provocación con mepivacaína 2 por ciento.Los resultados de los tests cutáneos mostraron positividad de forma exclusiva al Trigon depot® y a la carboximetilcelulosa, con resultado negativo para el resto del estudio (incluyendo la provocación con mepivacaína 2 por ciento).

Conclusiones:

nuestros resultados sugieren el diagnóstico de shock anafiláctico tras la administración intraarticular de carboximetilcelulosa. Es importante destacar la importancia de tener en cuenta los excipientes como causa de reacciones adversas a fármacos. (AU)
