Abstract

The article discusses a case of a 14-year-old adolescent female who was presented for evaluation of hypersensitivity to glatiramer acetate. After several tests, she was found to have an immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated allergy to glatiramer acetate. A desensitization protocol was formulated with a gradual dose of escalation period to address the problem.
