We present a 4.5 year-old boy with bladder exstrophy and epispadias who developed generalized urticaria and bronchospasm during general anesthesia prior to correction of the epispadias.

The immunopathogenesis of the reaction is obscure.To study the immunologic mechanisms of NRL allergy, rabbits were sensitized with two nonammoniated and one ammoniated NRL antigens.
