- Anaphylaxis
- Anaphylaxis - Anaphylaxis refers to a severe allergic reaction in which prominent dermal and
systemic signs and symptoms manifest. The full-blown syndrome includes urticaria (hives) and/or angioedema with hypotension and bronchospasm. The classic
form, described in 1902, involves prior sensitization with later re-exposure, producing symptoms via an immunologic mechanism. An anaphylactoid reaction
produces a very similar clinical syndrome but is not immune-mediated. Treatment for both conditions is similar, and this article uses the term anaphylaxis
to refer to both conditions unless otherwise specified. (eMedicine - by Richard S Krause, MD)
