Non-immediate heparin and heparinoid cutaneous allergic reactions: a role for fondaparinux
Internal Medicine Journal, Vol.48(1), pp.73-77
2018
Abstract
Non-immediate allergic cutaneous reactions to heparins have been increasingly reported, typically manifesting as large, eczematous plaques at sites of subcutaneous injection. Patients may demonstrate cross-reactivity between unfractionated heparin, low molecular weight heparin and semi-synthetic heparinoids, making finding an alternative difficult. Fondaparinux has been identified as a useful alternative in such patients; here we present the first two documented cases in Australia and a literature review.
