However, there is little evidence about the timing of the skin test when there is a need to identify the cause within 4\u20136 weeks. Case report: A 57-year-old woman was scheduled to undergo surgery via a sphenoidal approach to remove a pituitary macroadenoma. Immediately after the administration of rocuronium, pulse rate increased to 120 beats\/min and blood pressure dropped to 77\/36 mmHg. At the same time, generalized urticaria and tongue edema were observed. Epinephrine was administered and the surgery was postponed. Reoperation was planned two weeks after the event. Four days after the anaphylactic episode, rocuronium was confirmed to be the cause by the skin prick test. Cisatracurium, which showed a negative reaction, was selected as an alternative agent for future procedures. Two weeks later, the patient underwent reoperation without any adverse events. Conclusions: The early skin test can be performed if there is a need even earlier than 4\u20136 weeks after anaphylaxis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina56080394","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,7]],"date-time":"2020-08-07T09:30:54Z","timestamp":1596792654000},"page":"394","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Early Skin Test after Anaphylaxis during Induction of Anesthesia: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"56","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8775-5582","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ann Hee","family":"You","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, Kyung Hee University Hospital, Kyungheedae Road 23, Dongdaemun-Gu, Seoul 02447, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jeong Eun","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, Kyung Hee University Hospital, Kyungheedae Road 23, Dongdaemun-Gu, Seoul 02447, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Taewan","family":"Kwon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, Kyung Hee University Hospital, Kyungheedae Road 23, Dongdaemun-Gu, Seoul 02447, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tae Jun","family":"Hwang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, Kyung Hee University Hospital, Kyungheedae Road 23, Dongdaemun-Gu, Seoul 02447, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1995-1220","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jeong-Hyun","family":"Choi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, Kyung Hee University Hospital, Kyungheedae Road 23, Dongdaemun-Gu, Seoul 02447, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"159","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bja.2018.04.014","article-title":"Anaesthesia, surgery, and life-threatening allergic reactions: Epidemiology and clinical features of perioperative anaphylaxis in the 6th National Audit Project (NAP6)","volume":"121","author":"Harper","year":"2018","journal-title":"Br.
