Here we report 2 cases of acute reaction to methyl-prednisolone (MP), attributed to milk allergen contamination.Case 1A 9-year-old boy with a history of severe persistent cow’s milk allergy (CMA) was seen at the Emergency Department due to a virus-induced asthma exacerbation presented with wheezing and moderate dyspnea. The boy was administered nebulized salbutamol and 40mg of MP intravenously. Wheezing deteriorated, so the boy was given another course of the same medication. Within a few minutes the patient acutely collapsed, with hypotension, cyanosis and respiratory arrest and had to be immediately transferred to the IC Unit, where he was injected epinephrine and was intubated.Case 2A 7-year-old boy with severe CMA was similarly treated with salbutamol and intravenous administration of 40mg MP, following clinical diagnosis of an asthma
