Abstract

As members of Malignant Hyperthermia (MH) diagnostic centers in Brazil, we received several requests from healthcare professionals for a list of surnames of patients who experienced MH crises or tested positive for MH. Likewise, we received patients with no personal or family history of MH referred because their surnames were linked, in the past or in other locations, to someone suspected of MH. And recently a patient who had a family history of MH with death contacted us after he was discredited because his name was not on the list of people susceptible to MH circulating in the region. The accumulation of these facts led us to write this letter, in order to alert the anesthesiology community about the disadvantages of these practices.
