Myfanwy passes on the following enquiry:
"We have had a request from a consultant anaesthetist to provide testing for Allergy to Morphine, Codeine and Fentanyl ( all Opiates )
In a patient with a history of bad reactions to opiates who is scheduled for THJR
I was hoping that a RAST or similar type test would be available.
It would appear that it is not being done in New Zealand
It would be a great help if you could check with the Immunology websites and advise if It is available elsewhere in Australasia."
