Abstract

A 22 year-old patient wearing a down- and feather jacket was brought to the emergency department after a car accident. Initial treatment was according to Advanced Trauma Life Support principles. The patient was awake and stable. A computed tomography showed no abnormalities. However, a severe asthmatic allergic reaction was observed after total body exposure by cutting up the patient's clothes including the down- and feather jacket. The patient's asthmatic reaction was successfully treated and the patient fully recovered. In conclusion, an allergic reaction may rarely simulate more obvious trauma-related pathophysiology.
