Cyclopentolate eye drops-induced anaphylaxis in an infant

In children, hypersensitivity reactions due to cyclopentolate are very rare. Only four pediatric patients were reported in the literature to have developed an allergic reaction after the administration of cyclopentolate eye drops. We present here the youngest patient who developed anaphylaxis with cyclopentolate eye drops. Anaphylaxis due to cyclopentolate should be kept in mind, rapidly recognized, and treated when a reaction develops.
