Managing Exercise Induced Anaphylaxis in Labour

چکیده
Exercise induced anaphylaxis is an uncommon condition first reported by Sheffer and Austen in 1980. In this condition there is an exercise-induced lowering of the mast cell degranulation threshold, causing release of histamine and other mediators leading to the progression of symptoms of anaphylaxis. These can range from mild cutaneous pruritis and urticaria to severe systemic manifestations such as hypotension, cardiovascular collapse, syncope and even death. In Pregnancy and Labour, this can result in a number of complications and challenges. We will describe a case we were involved with.
