Following intravenous contrast medium (CM) injection, a small proportion of patients acquires hypersensitivity reactions that occur either immediately or non-immediately (delayed). Although it is now claer that even oral applied CMs are able to cause adverse reactions, many radiologists as well as physicians of other disciplines, still believe that CM-application via the gastrointestinal route does not induce hypersensitivity reactions. Since this kind of misinterpretation may harm the patient, education on this topic is still necessary. Therefore, we describe a case who acquired a delayed hypersensitivity reaction following the oral intake of a non-ionic iodinated CM.
