Case Report (n=1)
This case report highlights the potential for severe allergic or anaphylactoid reactions, including C3 conversion, following the administration of certain anesthetic agents.
Jariwalla et al. (1978) conducted a case report in Anaphylactoid reaction to anesthetics (n=1). Anesthetic agents (thiopentone, suxamethonium, halothane) was evaluated on Adverse reaction (angioneurotic oedema, hypotension, C3 conversion). Administration of thiopentone, suxamethonium, and halothane induced recurrent angioneurotic oedema and plasma C3 conversion in a single patient.
