Another consideration would be latex in the IV solution bags. These have largely been eliminated in most US hospitals so we can be as latex-free as possible, but it's possible that this Turkish hospital has not been as diligent about eliminating latex from most patient care areas. As recently as 10 years ago, these were very common in US hospitals, and can probably still be found in many. The fact that she didn't react badly to the D5 isn't that telling, since the D5 may be from a different manufacturer.
