Summary: analysis of adverse reactions to fluorescein angiography after intravenous injection of 5 ml 10% fluorescein sodium salt.
Material and Methods: the study group comprises 630 patients, aged between 15 and 90 years (the average of 60.2 years). The group consisted of 372 women (59%) and 258 men (41%).
Results: in 47 patients (7.5%) adverse reactions occurred after intravenous injection of fluorescein. These were: nausea in 29 patients (4.6%), vomiting - in 4 (0.6%), dizziness in 5 patients (0.8%), syncope in 6 patients (1%) and allergic skin manifestations in 5 patients (0.8%). Two persons suffered two adverse reactions at the same time: one person had nausea and dizziness, the other had nausea and syncope.
Conclusions: fluorescein angiography is a safe method, with rare side effects (7.5%) which cease autonomously. However some serious complications, though not frequent, have been described in the literature: anaphylactic collapse, acute myocardial infarction and pulmonary edema.
 
Key words: fluorescein angiography, adverse reactions.
