Objective: To investigate the diagnostic significance of basophil activation test (BAT) in anaphylaxis to non-ionic contrast media through testing the content of CD63, mast cell-carboxypeptidase A3 (MC-CPA3), and terminal complement complex SC5b-9 of the individuals by testing their levels in the normal immune group and the anaphylaxis groups to β-lactam drugs and non -ionic contrast media.
Methods: The CD63 expression of basophilic granulocyte in blood was detected by flow cytometry. The levels of MC-CPA3 in blood serum and SC5b-9 in blood plasma were detected by ELISA.
Results: The CD63 expression of basophilic granulocyte in blood, the levels of MC-CPA3 and SC5b-9 of anaphylaxis to non-ionic contrast media and β-lactam drugs were significantly higher than that in normal immune group (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: There is activation of basophilic granulocytes, mast cells and complement system in anaphylaxis to non-ionic contrast media. BAT can be used to diagnose the anaphylaxis to non-ionic contrast media.

Fatal Anaphylaxis to Contrast a Reality: A Case Report.
Cureus
November 2019
Family and Community Medicine, Southern Illinois University School of Medicine, Springfield, USA.
We are describing the case of a 45-year-old female with a past medical history of severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), type 2 diabetes mellitus, and anxiety and with no known allergies to contrast media. The patient presented to her primary care doctor's office with typical symptoms of COPD exacerbation. She was given a five-day course of prednisone (40 mg/day) and Azithromycin and advised to follow up with her pulmonologist.

Article Synopsis
- Polyethylene glycols (PEGs) and their derivatives, commonly found in various products, can trigger allergic reactions, including severe hypersensitivity reactions, despite generally being considered safe.
- A case study describes a 29-year-old woman who experienced both local and systemic allergic reactions to multiple products containing PEG, ultimately diagnosed with IgE-mediated hypersensitivity to these compounds.
- To help prevent allergic reactions, it is suggested that standardizing the terminology for PEGs in product labeling would aid in better identification and awareness among patients.
Varied incidence of immediate adverse reactions to low-osmolar non-ionic iodide radiocontrast media used in computed tomography.
Clin Exp Allergy

Department of Internal Medicine, College of Medicine, Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea.
Background: Low-osmolar non-ionic radiocontrast media (RCMs) are commonly used throughout hospitals. However, the incidence of immediate adverse drug reactions (ADRs) to various low-osmolar non-ionic RCMs is not well studied. We compared the incidence of immediate ADRs among different low-osmolar non-ionic RCMs used in computed tomography (CT).

[Effect of Water Intake on Allergy-like Events Associated with Non-ionic Iodine Contrast Agents].

The use of iodine contrast agents occasionally causes serious allergic symptoms including anaphylaxis. At Kyoto University Hospital to prevent nephropathy we began recommending water intake before and after administration of iodine contrast agents in September 2012. In the present study we investigated the effect of water intake on the incidence of allergy-like events after the use of non-ionic iodine contrast agents.
