  • Title: [Iodinated contrast media and iodine allergy: myth or reality?].
    Author: Meunier B, Joskin J, Damas F, Meunier P.
    Journal: Rev Med Liege; 2013 Sep; 68(9):465-9. PubMed ID: 24180202.
    Abstract:
    The term "iodine allergy" is an old phrase that refers to a reaction to iodinated contrast media. After a brief review of definitions, pathophysiological mechanisms and risk factors of this clinical entity, management is urged immediate and delayed according to the most recent recommendations from the literature. We underline that iodine allergy, as such, does not really exist.
