IN RESPONSE:
Dr. Shepherd is correct that there are no data to support the existence of an interaction between fludarabine and general anesthesia. Our statement was intended as speculation only in considering existing comorbid diseases, procedures, or concomitant medications as potential cofactors in the adverse reaction.
