Biphasic anaphylaxis to gemifloxacin
نویسندگان
چکیده
Anaphylaxis have been documented as adverse effects of ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, norfloxacin, levofloxacin, and moxifloxacin. However resistant and biphasic anaphlylactic reactions to gemifloxacin have not been reported to date. Management of severe anaphylaxis in the elderly can be complicated by concurrent medications such as beta (β) adrenergic, alpha (α) adrenergic blockers and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. We report here in the case of a 60-year-old male who was taking on ACE inhibitor, α and β blockers and experienced a severe, resistant and biphasic anaphlylactic reaction to gemifloxacin mesylate.

OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were to: 1) determine the incidence of biphasic reactions in children with anaphylaxis; 2) establish what risk factors can predict progression to a biphasic reaction; and 3) assess the utility of inpatient observation for patients whose anaphylaxis appears to have resolved. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of all children admitted to Childr...

Methods A systematic review was performed identifying case reports and retrospective and prospective studies reporting biphasic allergic reactions. “Biphasic anaphylaxis” (BA) was defined as an anaphylactic reaction consisting of 2 distinct phases separated by at least 1 hour, with both phases meeting internationally recognized diagnostic criteria for anaphylaxis. Pediatric and adult cases were...

متن کاملBiphasic Anaphylaxis: A Review of the Incidence, Characteristics and Predictors
While it has been recognized for over a quarter century that anaphylactic reactions have the potential to follow a biphasic course, reports on the incidence of biphasic anaphylaxis are conflicting, and the search for reliable predictive factors of such responses has been challenging. Further adding to the complexity of this clinical entity are the widely variable durations of the asymptomatic w...
متن کاملPlatelet-activating Factor–mediated NF-κB Dependency of a Late Anaphylactic Reaction
Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening systemic allergic reaction with the potential for a recurrent or biphasic pattern. Despite an incidence of biphasic reaction between 5 and 20%, the molecular mechanism for the reaction is unknown. Using a murine model of penicillin V-induced systemic anaphylaxis, we show an autoregulatory cascade of biphasic anaphylactic reactions. Induction of anaphylaxis caus...
