Is a positive history of non-anaesthetic drug allergy a predictive factor for positive allergy tests to anaesthetics?
The prevalence of positive in vivo and in vitro allergy tests to NMBAs is higher in our study population. This could be an argument for pre-operative SPT to NMBAs for the surgical population with reported non-anaesthetic drug allergies. A larger prospective study is needed to validate changes in clinical practice.
HCV can be effectively treated in the correctional setting with response rates similar to, if not better than the published literature. In this controlled setting of direct observational therapy, we observed similar SVR in CA and AA.
