Abstract

A 43-year-old female was admitted for a laparoscopic surgical procedure. Her past history included two uneventful general anesthesias, but anaphylactic shock due to an unknown drug occurred during her third surgery. Induction was performed with thiopental sodium, but an immediate anaphylactic reaction developed with cardiovascular collapse. We resuscitated the patient and she recovered without any complication.
