Abstract

The syndrome of anaphylaxis is a life-threatening event in which the potential for patient morbidity and mortality is high. An understanding of the pathophysiology of anaphylaxis, the most serious of the allergic disorders, is paramount for its diagnosis. In addition to these elements, this article discusses newly recognized causes of anaphylaxis and reviews its treatment.
