  • Title: Hypersensitivity reactions after barium enema examination.
    Author: Schwartz EE, Glick SN, Foggs MB, Silverstein GS.
    Journal: AJR Am J Roentgenol; 1984 Jul; 143(1):103-4. PubMed ID: 6610299.
    Abstract:
    Three patients who developed urticaria shortly after air-contrast barium enema studies of the colon are described. Only a single similar instance was found in the literature. One of the patients had a positive prick skin test to methylparaben, which was the preservative in the barium mixture used and, therefore, is presumed to be the responsible allergen.
