Anaphylaxis is a rapid onset serious allergic reaction which may be fatal. It is usually triggered by an agent such as a food, insect sting, or medication, through a mechanism involving immunoglobulin E (IgE) and the high-affinity IgE receptor on mast cells or basophils. Anaphylaxis has been rarely described which results from pollen antigen exposure. Here, we present unusual anaphylaxis, which...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Anaphylaxis remains one of the potential causes of perioperative death, being generally unanticipated and quickly progress to a life threatening situation. A narrative review of perioperative anaphylaxis is performed. CONTENT The diagnostic tests are primarily to avoid further major events. The mainstays of treatment are adrenaline and intravenous fluids. CONCLUSION...

Anaphylaxis in pregnancy is a rare but severe complication for both mother and infant. Population-based data on anaphylaxis are lacking from mainland European countries. This multinational study presents the incidence, causative agents, management maternal infant outcomes of pregnancy. descriptive used combination retrospective (Finnish medical registries) prospective population-based studies (...

BACKGROUND Current data on anaphylaxis is based on retrospective and register based studies. The objective of this study was to describe the epidemiology of anaphylaxis in a 1 year prospective study at the emergency care setting, Odense University Hospital, Denmark (2013-2014). METHODS Prospective study at the emergency care setting, Odense University Hospital, Denmark (2013-2014). To identif...

At present there are few controlled clinical therapeutic trials in acute anaphylaxis despite the emergence of evidence based medicine. Moreover, the explosive nature, unpredictable onset, and usually rapid response to treatment that characterise acute anaphylaxis mean that this situation is unlikely to change.' The vast majority of serious anaphylactic reactions occur unexpectedly,2 typically i...

Background The incidence of anaphylaxis is increasing in several parts of the world; thus, determining the prevalence of the disease in a given region is important to understand the factors involved and to promote measures to avoid this type of allergic reaction. Aiming this objective, we validated an instrument for a population-basedstudy that assesses the prevalence of anaphylaxis in the Braz...

Anaphylaxis has been defined as a serious allergic reaction of sudden onset and with potentially fatal consequences. This definition of anaphylaxis, in the same way as other definitions, has its advantages and inconveniences. The main advantage is its practical clinical perspective, while the inconvenience is that the definition views anaphylaxis as a clinical condition of allergic origin. The ...

1. During bacterial anaphylaxis there is a gradual rise in the blood sugar level, which attains an extremely high value at the time of death. 2. The curve of blood sugar is quite similar whether anaphylaxis is induced by organisms which affect the blood sugar in the unsensitized animal or by organisms which have no such effect. 3. No instances occurred in which there was not a marked hyperglyce...

Anaphylaxis is a clinical emergency, and all healthcare professionals should be familiar with its recognition and acute and ongoing management. These guidelines have been prepared by the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) Taskforce on Anaphylaxis. They aim to provide evidence-based recommendations for the recognition, risk factor assessment, and the management of patien...

BACKGROUND Food allergy is a common cause of anaphylaxis, but the incidence of fatal food anaphylaxis is not known. The aim of this study was to estimate the incidence of fatal food anaphylaxis for people with food allergy and relate this to other mortality risks in the general population. METHODS We undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis, using the generic inverse variance method. T...
