AbstractWe report an anaphylactoid reaction to etomidate twice in a 60-year-old male with coronary artery disease and peripheral vascular disease. Following the first anaphylactoid reaction, the patient developed myocardial infarction. In addition, the patient's blood was moderately positive for latex antibodies, which made the differential diagnosis difficult. We concluded that the patient had anaphylactoid reaction to etomidate due to the temporal relationship to induction with the drug. The patient did not manifest similar reaction to other induction drugs used for other surgeries. The patient recovered from both incidents of anaphylactoid reaction to etomidate following intravenous administration of epinephrine and fluids.
