Meriam Khadhar et al. Pan Afr Med J. .

Abstract

Anaphylactic reactions are rare but potentially life-threatening events that may occur during medical procedures. This present case highlights a distinct occurrence of an anaphylactic reaction in a patient undergoing hemodialysis, specifically induced by the utilization of a fistula needle along with a review of the literature.

Keywords: Hemodialysis; anaphylaxis; arteriovenous fistula; case report; di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate.
