Anaphylaxis is a growing paediatric clinical emergency that is difficult to diagnose because a consensus definition was lacking until recently. Many European countries have no specific guidelines for anaphylaxis. This position paper prepared by the EAACI Taskforce on Anaphylaxis in Children aims to provide practical guidelines for managing anaphylaxis in childhood based on the limited evidence ...

BACKGROUND Anaphylaxis is a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction that affects both children and adults in the United States. However, data regarding the incidence and prevalence of anaphylaxis and the number of deaths caused by it are limited. OBJECTIVE To provide a better understanding of the magnitude of the problem of anaphylaxis in the United States. METHODS A thorough review of t...

Food allergy is estimated to affect approximately 1 in 25 school-aged children and is the most common trigger of anaphylaxis in this age group. School food-allergymanagement requires strategies to reduce the risk of ingestion of the allergen as well as procedures to recognize and treat allergic reactionsandanaphylaxis. The role of thepediatricianorpediatric health care provider may include diag...

Methods The Italian Ministry of Health database was asked about hospital admissions for food-induced anaphylaxis from the year 2006; data were available up to year 2011. We identified hospital admissions for food-induced anaphylaxis using the following specific codes: ICD-9 codes: 99560, 99561, 99562, 99563, 99564, 99565, 99566, 99567, 99568, 99569. We investigated the total number of ordinary ...

Food anaphylaxis is an allergic syndrome manifested by an abrupt onset of symptoms within minutes to hours after ingesting a food. Anaphylaxis is recognized by cutaneous, respiratory, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal signs and symptoms occurring singly or in combination. The list of foods implicated in anaphylactic reactions is unlimited and any food protein is capable of causing an anaphyla...

BACKGROUND : Anaphylaxis is an acute, systemic, and potentially fatal allergic reaction. Many things can cause anaphylaxis potentially but some agents are more common like some foods (milk, egg, soy, wheat, peanut, tree nut, shellfish, and fish), insect stings, medications, latex, and food-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis. The goal of this study is to show the common causes of anaphylaxis...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Animal models published within the past 18 months on asthma, food allergy and anaphylaxis, all conditions of rising public health concern, were reviewed. RECENT FINDINGS While domestic animals spontaneously develop asthma, food allergy and anaphylaxis, in animal models, divergent sensitization and challenge routes, dosages, intervals and antigens are used to induce asthmatic...
