Abstract
In patients with anaphylactoid reactions (AR) to neuromuscular blockin g drugs (NMB), eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) was released both in vivo and in vitro, and in IgE-dependent and IgE-independent reactions. Thus, eosinophils may play a role in both types of reactions, and ECP release tests may be of value in the diagnosis and study of the mecha nism of AR.
