Abstract
Perioperative anaphylaxis occurs in about 1:6000 of all surgical procedures. Recently, the pathophysiology of anaphylactic reactions via mast cell related G-protein und complement-activated pseudo-allergy have been added to the "old" IgE mediated etiology. New culprits for anaphylactic reactions are chlorhexidine or gelatine as hemostypticum or blue surgical dyes to mark the situs. Biphasic anaphylactic reactions should be kept in mind. In the meantime, propofol use is allowed in egg and soybean allergic patients.
