An Unusual Presentation of Dextran Related Anaphylactic Reaction

Dextran is frequently used following microsurgical free tissue transfer and replantation. The incidence of dextran induced pulmonary edema has been reported sporadically. We report here a case of dextran induced non cardiogenic pulmonary edema having a late presentation. The rare presentation of an anaphylactic reaction presenting with hypertension is also discussed.
