Anaphylaxis induced by intra‐articular injection of chitosan: A case report and literature review

ABSTRACT: Abstract Generally, we consider chitosan being a safe, nontoxic natural polymer with wide clinical applications. However, allergic reactions caused by chitosan have been reported on rare occasions. We report here a case of allergy and perform a literature review. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report describing an acute allergic reaction caused by intra‐articular injection of chitosan.
