  • Title: [Allergy to iodinated contrast media].
    Author: Nicolie B.
    Journal: Allerg Immunol (Paris); 2002 Oct; 34(8):302-4. PubMed ID: 12449670.
    Abstract:
    Iodinated contrast media are responsible for immediate or delayed adverse reactions. Because of the wide use of these products, one must consider them as drugs. The delay and nature of the undesirable events must be carefully recorded because in some selected cases, a true allergic mechanism can be proved. Cutaneous skin tests identify the culprit drug and find safe alternative for the patient.
