  • Title: Hypersensitivity to sub-Tenon's topotecan in fibrin adhesive in patients with retinoblastoma.
    Author: Astudillo PP, Durairaj P, Chan HS, Héon E, Gallie BL.
    Journal: J AAPOS; 2015 Feb; 19(1):86-7. PubMed ID: 25727598.
    Abstract:
    Sub-Tenon's space delivery of topotecan in a fibrin sealant was used as an adjunct to laser therapy for small retinoblastoma tumors in 25 children (77 injections). We report serious hypersensitivity reactions in 2 children on their third sub-Tenon's injection of topotecan in fibrin sealant. One child subsequently had topotecan in an autologous blood clot with no allergic reaction. Although allergic reaction to topotecan has been reported in the literature, fibrin glue reactions are more common and are likely due to aprotinin hypersensitivity.
