Background: Diagnosis of allergy from neuromuscular blocking agents is not always straightforward. The objectives of the current study were to investigate the value of quantification of immunoglobulin E (IgE) by ImmunoCAP (Phadia AB, Uppsala, Sweden) in the diagnosis of rocuronium allergy and to study whether IgE inhibition tests can predict clinical cross-reactivity between neuromuscular blocking agents.
Methods: Twenty-five rocuronium-allergic patients and 30 control individuals exposed to rocuronium during uneventful anesthesia were included.
