Delayed reactions to intravenous injections of urographic contrast media

Abstract

There are two fundamental aspects to the study of reactions, either acute or delayed:

  1. 1.

    Clinical observation of individual syndromes.

  2. 2.

    Data collection to estimate the prevalence. These are, to some extent, in conflict, as accurate clinical observation of each reaction by a defined group of workers is not possible on the large numbers of patients from different hospitals required for statistical rigour.
