Abstract
We experienced a case of anaphylactic shock due to antibiotics (LMOX) .
1) A 56-year-old male was treated by intravenous antibiotic therapy for the infection secondary to MFH of the maxilla.
2) Intradermal test with LMOX before anaphylactic shock showed negative. We thought that it was a false-negative.
3) Patient suffered cardiac and respiratory arrest, but we succeeded in resuscitation with defibrillation and artificial ventilation.
4) Intradermal test and basophil degranulation test revealed that LMOX was positive one month after the anaphylaxis.
5) It was reconfirmed in our case that a through inquiry into the patient's history of allergy and Intradermal tests is needed to prevent anaphylactic shock.
If anaphylaxis occurs, prompt and proper treatment should be initiated.
