Latex allergy confounded by IV infiltration presents a serious problem for pediatric patients. If unrecognized, it can lead to serious neurologic deficits, loss of limb mobility, compartment syndrome, and ultimately lasting disability. Appropriate early recognition can prevent progression to these devastating outcomes. In this case report, we present an infant with IV infiltration and latex allergy. The case is used to highlight important clinical diagnostic criteria, treatment approaches, and how to prevent detrimental outcomes. We provide a detailed review of the literature and highlight the key teaching points in a reader-friendly reference table.
静脉输液渗漏并发乳胶过敏给儿科患者带来了严重问题。如果未被识别，可能会导致严重的神经功能缺损、肢体活动能力丧失、骨筋膜室综合征，并最终造成永久性残疾。早期的正确识别可防止病情发展至这些灾难性后果。在本病例报告中，我们介绍了一名发生静脉输液渗漏并患有乳胶过敏的婴儿。该病例用于强调重要的临床诊断标准、治疗方法以及如何预防不良后果。我们对文献进行了详细综述，并在一份便于读者阅读的参考表中突出了关键要点。
