Abstract
The incidence of allergic reactions due to mechanical prosthesis or rings is not well established. We report the case of a 56-year-old man who presented a persistent urticarial rash and anaphylactic shock after a mitral valve repair operation. Prick skin tests were positive for nickel. After the nucleus from the mitral annulus was removed, the urticarial rash disappeared.
