Abstract
We report a case of latex anaphylactoid reaction in a 39-year-old man with aortitis. He was scheduled to undergo stent-graft implantation. When the operation progressed into his abdomen, respiratory symptoms, wheezing and high airway pressure, occurred. However, he did not show any dermal symptoms. Thirty-five minutes after the start of respiratory symptoms, his face suddenly showed flush, and intravenous epinephrine worked successfully against anaphylactoid reactions. There are anaphylactoid reactions which occurred with respiratory symptoms, and we should be aware of these cases.
