Shiratori et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Subarachnoid hemorrhage and dextran-induced anaphylactic shock (n=1). Dextran was evaluated on Dextran-induced anaphylactoid reaction (severe shock). Administration of a very small dose (0.8 mL) of dextran for volume expansion induced severe anaphylactic shock in an 86-year-old female following subarachnoid hemorrhage.
