- Abstract : The authors report a case of a near fatal anaphylactic reaction to chlorhexidine. Increasingly adverse reactions are being reported with the use of chlorhexidine. Serious reactions are related to use on mucous membranes and acceptable alternatives are readily available. Therefore, the fundamental question that must be asked is: is it time to withdraw chlorhexidine preparations used for mucous membranes?
