Abstract

Perioperative immediate hypersensitivity reactions are serious but rare clinical problems that require further evaluation for possible drug allergy. Hypersensitivity reactions and medication errors are types of adverse drug reactions. Here we present a case of two perioperative hypersensitivity reactions in a single patient due to hypersensitivity to neuromuscular blocking agents, the second of which was a medication error, and the possible circumstances that led to such outcomes.
