Abstract
Life-threatening side effects of mistletoe therapy are mostly negated by physicians working in complementary medicine. This article reports on a case of life-threatening anaphylactic shock after carrying out mistletoe therapy. In patients with a carcinoid syndrome (flushes, diarrhea, bronchoconstriction) the diagnosis of anaphylactic shock can be masked by the findings of a neuroendocrine neoplasm. Before a planned complementary medicine mistletoe therapy patients should also be well-informed on rare life-threatening side effects.
