Abstract
Identifying anaphylaxis and determining its cause during anaesthesia c an be very difficult. We describe a patient who suffered a life-threat ening reaction which was diagnosed originally as being caused by bupiv acaine. Subsequent investigation and enquiry showed that this was not so and suggested latex as the likely true cause.
