    AbstractSeventy-five consecutive patients referred to an anaesthetic allergy clinic were intradermally tested with atracurium and cisatracurium. With the exception of one patient the results were identical, suggesting that allergy to either drug is associated with allergy to the stereoisomer. For skin testing for allergy to neuromuscular blocking drugs it is only necessary to use either atracurium or cisatracurium and cisatracurium is the preferred drug.
