ABSTRACT
Severe adverse reactions to ultrasound (US) contrast agents are rare, and only a few cases of anaphylaxis following the administration of US contrast agents have been reported, often without a defined etiology. We present a case of anaphylactic reaction to the injection of an US contrast agent in a patient with systemic mastocytosis, which highlights the disorder as a possible risk factor warranting additional consideration prior to performing a contrast-enhanced US examination.
