Anaphylactic reaction to ondansetron in a pediatric patient: a rare case report
Anafilaxia a ondasetron em idade pediátrica: um caso clínico raro
Filipa Rodrigues dos Santos; Joana Gouveia; Eva Gomes
Abstract
Although ondansetron is a widely used antiemetic medication, hypersensitivity to ondansetron is rare. We report a clinical case of a child who had an anaphylactic reaction after a single oral dose of ondansetron. An immunoglobulin E-mediated mechanism was determined by positive intradermal tests.

Resumo
Ondansetron é um medicamento antiemético amplamente utilizado, mas a hipersensibilidade ao mesmo é rara. Apresentamos um caso clínico de uma criança com anafilaxia após tomar dose única de ondansetron, via oral, onde se demonstra um mecanismo mediado por IgE através de testes intradérmicos positivos.
