چکیده
Intravenous aminophylline is used as a first line treatment for bronchial asthma. This preparation consists of theophylline or a salt of theophylline dissolved in a solution of ethylenediamine, which confers greater solubility and reduces the alkalinity of the drug.1 In clinical usage side effects of tachycardia, seizures and nausea are well known. We report on the much less common, but clinically important problem of allergy to the ethylenediamine component of aminophylline.
