  • Title: Tartrazine (FD & C yellow #5) anaphylaxis: a case report.
    Author: Desmond RE, Trautlein JJ.
    Journal: Ann Allergy; 1981 Feb; 46(2):81-2. PubMed ID: 7469134.
    Abstract:
    Tartrazine dye has been implicated in a variety of adverse reactions. There is a high correlation between aspirin sensitivity and tartrazine sensitivity but the reverse is exceedingly rare. Herewith is presented a case where repeated occult exposures to tartrazine yellow dye in a patient who could take aspirin with impunity was uncovered by a deduction. The ubiquitous nature and protean manifestations of dye sensitivity are discussed.
