Abstract
Varicose vein sclerosing agents are very widely used in clinical pract ice: essentially polidocanol, sodium tetradecylsulfate. They can be re sponsible for local or systemic complications, among which immune-alle rgic reactions appear to be very rare. The authors report four cases o f allergic reactions, two with polidocanol and two with tetradecylsulf ate. Allergological investigation is difficult in view of the risk of cutaneous necrosis during skin tests.
