Allergy is a multigenetic condition, therefore with the current status of research development, vaccines which might prevent the occurrence of these syndromes are not known. Moffatt proved that asthma is often related to the occurrence of histocompatibility antigens HLA DRB1, which corresponds with the increased number of total IgE, however, it is particular genes that are responsible for increased specific IgE concentration (Moffatt et al., 2001).

A 60-year-old women underwent intravenous regional anesthesia with 3 mg/kg of prilocaine 0.5% diluted with saline to a total of 40 ml for surgical treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome and 3 minutes after injection developed severe erythema and edema in the limb below the tourniquet. Intravenous hydrocortisone was started and the tourniquet was released after 20 minutes. All the skin signs disappeared within 1 hour and there were no systemic reactions after release of the tourniquet. A skin prick test later confirmed allergy to prilocaine.
