Abstract :
Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening systemic allergic hypersensitivity reaction that may potentially be triggered
after the administration of any drug. Our case was a 51-year-old man with the history of mild pain in his flanks
since the night before he was admitted to our hospital. The patient was diagnosed with urolithiasis and admitted
to the emergency department. He developed anaphylaxis after intravenous injection of 30 mg ketorolac. Allergic
reactions to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ketorolac are rare; nonetheless, they can
be life-threatening and should be carefully monitored.
