A case of severe anaphylactic reaction provoked by suxamethonium during the induction of general anaesthesia is reported. Diagnosis of reaction and the trigger effect of suxamethonium was identified by intradermal testing. Diagnosis of anaphylactic reaction was confirmed on serial blood estimations of IgE and C3-C4 of complement fractions.
