The woman dies after a rare allergic reaction to the CT -CT contrast material

A 22 -year -old graduate has recently died after having undergone a rare but catastrophic allergic reaction during a routine computed tomography, highlighting the risks of a procedure that millions of people suffer each year.

Letícia Paul, who had recently graduated in law and pursued third cycle studies in real estate law and business law, entered an anaphylactic shock for a few moments after receiving an iodized contrast color, Jam Press reported.

The incident occurred at the Alto Vale regional hospital in Rio Do Sul, Santa Catarina, Brazil.

The doctors intubated the young woman and placed her under intensive care, but she died on August 20, less than 24 hours later.

Paul had initially visited the hospital for a scan linked to his history of kidney stones.
