Abstract
Identifying anaphylaxis and determining its cause during anaesthesia can be very difficult. We describe a patient who suffered a life-threatening reaction which was diagnosed originally as being caused by bupivacaine. Subsequent investigation and enquiry showed that this was not so and suggested latex as the likely true cause.
