Allergy to Salbutamol

A review of the use of Salbutamol following a case of a 10-month-old baby girl, known case of Cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA). She presented to a local clinic with shortness of breath and cough triggered by upper respiratory tract infection (URTI). Salbutamol is a safe medication but adverse reactions including mainly PB and more rarely a true anaphylaxis still may occur. A high index of suspicion and clear time line may help reaching the diagnosis. Furthermore, it seems all patients who had an anaphylaxis had a positive skin prick test that may further confirm the diagnosis. The latter is considered one of the limitations of this report..
