Abstract：One 25-year-old full-term pregnant woman with mild anaemia was healthy without drug and food allergies. She labored naturally with stable vital signs. Iron sucrose injection was given to improve postpartum anemia. About 2 hours, the patient developed systemic wheal rash accompanied with itching, which was mainly on abdomen and limbs. Dexamethasone sodium phosphate injection combined with calcium gluconate and vitamin C were given. One hour later, allergic symptoms relieved.
