Patient alleged to have developed hypersensitivity reaction to iron sucrose injection. In our patient, an adverse drug reaction occurring few hours after infusion of first dose of iron sucrose suggests hypersensitivity reaction rather than an immediate dose related toxicity. In our study, the patient was alleged to have developed hypersensitiviy reaction with iron sucrose injection. All staff involved in giving iron infusions need regular training to ensure that when these rare events develop they are dealt with calmly and expeditiously.
