Abstract |
By the use of intradermal tests, passive transfer (P.K.), and an in vitro histamine release test, we were able to demonstrate immediate hypersensitivity to Mercurochrome in a young man who had suffered anaphylactic shock after having contact with this antiseptic. Cross-reactions among different organic mercurial compounds were observed.
