    Area of Science:

    • Clinical Immunology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Corticosteroids are widely used for managing inflammatory and allergic conditions.
    • Anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction, is an uncommon but serious adverse effect of various medications.

    Observation:

    • A 66-year-old patient with asthma presented with anaphylaxis.
    • The reaction manifested as cardiopulmonary collapse following intravenous administration of methylprednisolone.

    Findings:

    • Intravenous methylprednisolone can precipitate anaphylactic reactions.
    • Cardiopulmonary collapse is a potential severe outcome of corticosteroid-induced anaphylaxis.

    Implications:

    • Clinicians should be aware of the possibility of anaphylaxis to corticosteroids.
    • Prompt recognition and management are crucial for successful therapeutic outcomes in patients experiencing this rare adverse event.
