Reactions to dextran.

Reactions to Total Dose Intravenous Infusion of Iron Dextran (imferon).

Immunological Reactions between Dextran Polysaccharide and Some Bacterial Antisera

Dextran, the synthetic polysaccharide produced by Leuconostoc mesenterioides from saccharose, reacts immunologically with antisera from pneumococci, some of the Sahnonella and some of the types of Streptococcus viridans (Bargen). This immunological relationship is independent of the specific antipolysaccharide antibodies of these sera, suggesting the existence of a distinct antibody produced by...

Benchmarking iron dextran sensitivity: reactions requiring resuscitative medication in incident and prevalent patients.

BACKGROUND Reliable information on the incidence of severe reactions to iron dextran is limited. Administration of agents of resuscitation in acute anaphylaxis may serve as a marker to quantify life-threatening adverse drug reactions. METHODS To determine the incidence of the most serious reactions to intravenous (i.v.) iron dextran, we searched the Gambro Healthcare US medical database for e...
