Abstract

Paracetamol overdose is common knowledge among most practitioners and is well documented in the literature and the text books. Anaphylaxis to Paracetamol is virtually unheard of, despite the occasional unsubstantiated reports in the past. We report a patient with anaphylaxis to Paracetamol and review the literature regarding Paracetamol hypersensitivity.
