Anaphylaxis

Abstract: Anaphylaxis is a sudden onset, immediate reaction that implies a risk of death. Think of a “rule of 2s” for anaphylaxis, which implies that reactions usually begin within 2 minutes to 2 hours after injection, infusion, ingestion, contact, or inhalation. Fatalities can be from asphyxiation from laryngeal or oropharyngeal swelling, collapse from hypotensive shock, cardiac arrest, or acute severe bronchoconstriction that causes respiratory failure and arrest. When there is activation of mast cells and basophils … Show more

“…Idiopathic anaphylaxis is diagnosed through exclusion of other known causes and may mask a clonal mast cell disorder. [18][19][20][21][22][23] Non-immunological anaphylaxis was previously termed anaphylactoid reactions, but the World Allergy Organization (WAO) in 2004 suggested replacing anaphylactoid reactions with non-immunological anaphylaxis. 24 The change in terminology is to reinforce the risk and potential fatality of all types of anaphylaxis, regardless of the underlying mechanism.…”

“…[68][69][70] While radio-contrast agents have traditionally been considered to be non-immunologic, some of the newer, lowosmolar agents may induce IgE-mediated reactions. 21 Although the clinical presentations of both IgE-mediated anaphylaxis and non-immunologic anaphylaxis are similar, measurements of tryptase and SC5b-9may assist in differentiating the two types. 71,72 Tryptase is a marker of mast cell activation which is released following mast cell degranulation while SC5b-9 is a marker of complement activation and is a terminal complement complex.…”

“…Fatalities can occur due to asphyxiation from laryngeal or oropharyngeal swelling, collapse from hypotensive shock, cardiac arrest, or acute severe bronchoconstriction that causes respiratory failure and arrest. [1] Bee or wasp stings can result in a fatal outcome due to anaphylactic reaction. [2] We herein report a case of cardiac arrest soon after receiving one sting from a wasp.…”
