聚乙二醇是一种普遍存在的水溶性有机化合物，存在于各种市售产品中。虽然通常是一种良性物质，但在极少数情况下，它会引起超敏反应。在此，我们描述了一个过敏的情况下，含聚乙二醇润滑凝胶用于阴道超声。该病例强调了早期识别可能发生在卫生保健环境中的过敏反应的罕见原因的重要性。考虑到类似的润滑材料在多种实践环境中的广泛使用，用于内部检查和超声检查，这一点特别重要。
Polyethylene glycol is a ubiquitous, water-soluble, organic compound found in a wide variety of commercially available products. While generally a benign substance, in rare instances, it can induce hypersensitivity reactions. Herein, we describe a case of anaphylaxis to polyethylene glycol-containing lubricating gel used for a transvaginal ultrasound. This case highlights the importance of early recognition of a rare cause of anaphylaxis that may occur in the health-care setting. It is of particular importance given the widespread use of similar lubricating materials in multiple practice settings for the use of internal examinations and ultrasonography.
