Frequency and Severity of Acute Allergic-Like Reactions to Intravenously Administered Gadolinium-Based Contrast Media in Children
Conclusion
Allergic-like reactions to GBCM in children are rare. Gadoterate meglumine has a reaction frequency that does not significantly differ from other GBCMs. During the transition from gadopentetate dimeglumine to gadoterate meglumine, an increase in the frequency of reported allergic-like reactions was observed, likely reflective of the Weber effect.
