ACUTE URTICARIA AND BRONCHOSPASM FOLLOWING RADIOGRAPHIC CONTRAST-MEDIA IN A DOG

[摘要] An immediate-type systemic reaction in a dog following i.v. radiographic contrast media (RCM), manifested by urticaria and wheezing on 1 occasion and urticaria alone on another occasion, is described. This reactivity disappeared spontaneously and it was not possible to study the mechanisms of the reaction. If such reactivity is more persistent in certain other dogs, a model for study of immediate-type reactivity to RCM would be available.
