Pharmacotherapy
Chantal PharandDenis Hamel

Abstract

A 46-year-old woman developed an anaphylactic reaction during percutaneous coronary intervention after she was pretreated with prednisone and diphenhydramine for a known allergy to iodine. She developed pruritus, edema, and nausea, which were followed by bradycardia and shock, minutes after administration of a bolus and standard-dose infusion of abciximab. The reaction was treated successfully with epinephrine, methoxamine, hydrocortisone, atropine, furosemide, sodium bicarbonate, diphenhydramine, and ranitidine.
