Propofol Induced Anaphylaxis, A Rare Anaesthetic Emergency: A Case Report

Abstract

Anaphylaxis is a serious side effect experienced by mainly anaesthetists as compare to other physicians. Owing to simultaneous administration of many drugs in perioperative period, causality assessment of drug causing the adverse reactions is usually difficult. Here, were present a rare case of a propofol induced hypersensitivity reaction in a young lady who was posted for a robotic cystectomy under general anaesthesia for ovarian cyst. She was given Propofol in perioperative period along with other anaesthetics. She developed hypotension, tachycardia and facial flushing, angioedema and urticaria over forearms. The causal agent of this adverse event was confirmed by measurement of mast cell tryptase, multiple skin patch test and intradermal sensitivity test. Patch and intradermal sensitivity test were negative for all the drugs used in perioperative period except propofol. Clinical features, investigation and causality assessment suggest Propofol to be the causative drug for anaphylactic reaction. All patients with a suspected anaphylactic reaction during anaesthesia should be investigated to determine the allergic nature of the reaction and to identify the responsible drug.

Cancer Genetic Markers Among School Children in Relation to Urogenital Schistosomiasis

“…Cancer is a disease of importance because it is a genetic disorder that can come about as a results genetic or epigenetic alterations in the somatic cells and is associated with abnormal cell growth, it could be invasive or noninvasive (Soria et al, 2019;. Cancer has been identified to be caused by a lot of factors including but not limited to tobacco smoking, infections like HIV, hepatitis b, Epstein-Barretc, poor diet, obesity, excessive consumption of alcohol, exposure to ionizing radiation, and gases, bladder inflammation due to microbial and parasitic infections, as well as some adverse side-effects of medications (Saini et al, 2020). There are different forms of cancer of which bladder cancer is inclusive.…”

A Review on Gene Therapy for Cancer

“…The myeloma cells which are plasma cells, are build up in bone marrow and make tumors in bones. It is called plasma cell myeloma and Kahler disease [11].…”

“…It is also called biological therapy, which means the substances used in the treatment made from living organisms to treat cancer. [11]…”

Thermo-fluid dynamic resonance in cancer cells

“…So, it is an irregular behaviour of cells, and it is considered a disorder, caused by genetic or epigenetic alterations in the somatic cells. The unregulated growth of cells may also be spread in other parts of the body [2], [3].…”

“…A great number of behavioural risks allows the cancer to begin, even if its first cause is considered genetic [2]; indeed, human body contains about 10 14 cells, and all kinds of cancer begin its growth, by changing some cells [4]. Cells in human body are specialized for different tasks, but they all have a similar structure, and use biochemical reactions for life and growth, proliferation, etc.…”
