Morphine and pholcodine ‐specific IgE have limited utility in the diagnosis of anaphylaxis to benzylisoquinolines

ConclusionUse of sIgE testing to morphine and pholcodine in the assessment of NMBA immediate hypersensitivity is a valuable tool particularly in the case of reactions to the aminosteroid NMBAs. However, these assays are unreliable in detecting sensitisation to benzylisoquinoline NMBAs.
