Hypersensitivity to Mercuhydrin

Specific hypersensitivity to the mercurial component of meralluride sodium was induced by a series of intramuscular injections in 12 patients who were being treated for congestive heart failure. Reactions were characterized by fever and systemic symptoms and were precipitated in hypersentitive patients by minute amounts of the drug. No untoward effects resulted from administration of full thera...

Cyclooxygense-1 inhibition delays hypersensitivity to nerve injury

Despite the important role of both cyclooxygenase (COX) isoforms (i.e. COX-1 and COX-2) in maintenance of hypersensitivity following peripheral nerve injury, their role in the development of neuropathic pain is not clear. The present study was undertaken to determine the effect of COX inhibitors to address the potential role of COX isozymes in the development of neuropathic pain in rats after c...

Hypersensitivity and cross-reactivity to cisplatin and carboplatin.

Cisplatin was the first of the platinum drugs. Second-generation platinum derivative was carboplatin that its efficacy in the treatment of many malignancies is equal to cisplatin, and its toxicity profile is more favorable. Here we report on a 50-year-old woman with a history of cervix cancer who developed a severe hypersensitivity reaction (HSR) to carboplatin. She was admitted to the emergenc...

Hypersensitivity Reaction to Local Anesthetic in Dentistry: A Case Report

Background and Aim: Local anesthesia plays an important role in dentistry. Although hypersensitivity reactions to local anesthetic drugs are rare,but they are more common in dental cartridge components. This study reports a rare case of hypersensitivity to components of local anesthesia cartridge. Case Report: A 61-year-old female patient referred to The Medical Council to complain the dentist ...
