“…Anaphylaxis from patent blue has mainly been reported in the 1960s and 1970s [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. The use of this dye was popular for lymphography at that time but has largely been replaced by newer techniques.…”

“…Allergy to isosulphan blue and Patent Blue used for sentinel node identification is a well-recognised phenomenon, following an initial report in 1971 when the dye was commonly used for lymphography. 2 The most common manifestation is a transient urticarial reaction ('blue hives'). Anaphylactic shock has been reported, 3 but to date there have been no fatalities.…”

Optimal sentinel node identification requires using the combination technique with blue dye and radiocolloid. Allergic reactions to the common blue dyes in use are well recognised. In this report, we present a patient with breast carcinoma who developed a type I hypersensitivity reaction to intradermal injection of technetium-99m labelled nanocolloidal albumin. While reactions to colloids are rare, and in this case minor, operators using this radiopharmaceutical should be prepared for a potential severe anaphylactic reaction.

“…Most patients have neither clinical symptoms nor respiratory impairment, however, in patients with pulmonary insufficiency, this may lead to infarction. Hypersensitivity to methylene blue and ethiodised oil, 10 contrast extravasation related to excessive injection pressure – common in patients with lymphatic obstruction 11 – and hypothyroidism have also been described 12 . In patients with right‐to‐left cardiac shunts, cerebral or renal infarction may occur 7,13 .…”
