Abstract

Anaphylaxis is an immediate, life-threatening, general allergic reaction mediated by bioactive substances released by mast cells. Symptoms include diffuse urticaria, gastrointestinal disorders (sensation of fullness, diarrhea and abdominal cramps), bronchospasm, edema, airway obstruction, hypotension, cardiovascular collapse, and even death. The present review discusses the adequate diagnostic and therapeutic management based on our own experience.
