A young, thriving Brazilian lawyer tragically died after suffering a severe allergic reaction during a routine CT scan.
Leticia Paul, 22, suffered an anaphylactic shock on Wednesday while undergoing a contrast-enhanced CT scan at Alto Vale Regional Hospital in Rio do Sul, according to G1.
The fatal reaction was triggered by the contrast dye injected before the scan.

Anaphylactic shock is a sudden and life-threatening allergic reaction that can cause airway constriction, throat swelling, a sharp drop in blood pressure, and other severe symptoms, according to the Cleveland Clinic. Urgent medical care is needed to avoid fatal outcomes.

This is so sad. No indication that anyone did anything wrong.
I guess that the treatment guidelines will need to be revised for (I assume) first time dye recipients?
So young.
Argh!
