Abstract

Intraoperative administration of thymoglobulin is an integral part of the anti-rejection regimen during organ transplantation. However, its administration may be associated with complications. An anaphylactoid reaction that occurred in a pediatric recipient of a living-related renal transplant, on initiating an intravenous infusion of thymoglobulin, is presented.
