Skin diseases and allergic reactions
Anaphylaxis
It is an acute and often life-threatening immunologic reaction, frequently heralded by scalp pruritus, diffuse erythema, urticaria, or angioedema. Bronchospasm, laryngealedema, hyperperistalsis, hypotension, and cardiac arrhythmia may occur. Antiobitics (especially penicillins), other drugs, and radiographic contrast agents are the most common causes of serious anaphylactic reactions.
