A Rare Incidence of Ketorolac-induced Anaphylaxis: A Case Report.

Anaphylaxis or type I hypersensitivity is a class of potentially life-threatening allergic reactions that may be caused by exposure to any drug or substance. These reactions are unpredictable, not dose-related and are not known adverse-reactions. Medications as a cause or trigger of anaphylaxis are of concern to health practitioners not only because of the potentially deadly out-comes, but also that, it may affect treatment efficacy and patient compliance. In resource-poor settings like ours, confirming anaphylaxis would be a challenge, requiring a high index of suspicion, and well-educated patients.Allergic reactions to analgesics are not common occurrences and ketorolac has been rarely implicated. We present a case of ketorolac-induced anaphylaxis in a 32-year-old man. We also discussed the contemporary scholarly literature.
