AbstractA case of anaphylaxis to a latex urethral catheter in a 33-year-old at full term pregnancy is presented. The diagnosis is based on clinical findings and supported by subsequent immunological tests. She was managed with cardiopulmonary resuscitation, concomitant caesarean section and intravenous adrenaline. Despite the good maternal outcome the child showed early signs of severe perinatal asphyxia, the long-term sequelae of which remain to be seen. This report discusses this unusual cause of anaphylaxis and highlights the problems of resuscitation in the pregnant patient.
