Hypersensitive allergic reactions to bismuth-iodoform-paraffin paste following ear surgery

Abstract

The case notes of 185 patients who had bismuth-iodoform-paraffin paste (BIPP) impregnated ribbon gauze used for packing following ear surgery were analysed retrospectively. The incidence of hypersensitive allergic reactions to BIPP was 5.9 per cent and a five-fold increase risk of developing allergic reactions was found in those with previous exposure to BIPP. Where temporalis fascia was used to repair tympanic membrane defects, the incidence of tympanic membrane graft perforations was higher when allergic reactions to BIPP developed post-operatively, compared to non-allergic cases.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
