I suppose a latex allergy is a possibility but those reactions tend to be pretty dramatic in their presentation and I think the treatment would have required more than just turning off the infusion and switching to D5W. No steroids or antihistamines?

This article didn't provide enough information. They didn't say if they switched bags of saline or just restarted what they had hanging to reproduce the symptoms.

I'm inclined to think that there were contaminants of some kind in the IVF.
