Several reports have highlighted the importance of gelatin allergy in young children, with some deaths due to anaphylaxis. Elsewhere, anaphylactoid reactions have been reported to gelatin-containing injectables (SEDA-20, 310).

Multivariate analysis showed four independent susceptibility factors the administration of gelatins (OR = 4.81), the administration of dextrans (OR = 3.83), a history of drug allergy (OR = 3.16), and being male (OR = 1.98).

It has been suggested that hydrolysed gelatin, rather than egg protein, is responsible for most episodes of anaphylaxis after measles immunization (6). Egg allergy should no longer be a contraindication to measles immunization. However, a previous anaphylactic reaction to measles or MMR vaccine remains a contraindication.

Anaphylactic reactions to gelatins occur in about 0.1% of patients. Such reactions are more common in atopic patients and men and often occur within 10 minutes of starting the infusion. The authors recommended the use of allergy identification jewellery in such individuals, to reduce the possibihty of hfe-threatening reactions.

No atopic background is usually demonstrable in patients experiencing anaphylactoid reactions to gelatin derivatives. Ring (1978 a) found no history of allergy in six of seven patients with reactions of grade II to III.
