Rapid recognition of the entity should be followed by epinephrine administration. Anaphylaxis causes, including a hypothetical scenario, are described. Various risk factors for anaphylaxis, such as β-blocker use, are discussed. The differential diagnosis of anaphylaxis and adjunct treatment are explained.
