Anaphylaxis is:
–A severe, life-threatening, generalized or systemic hypersensitivity reaction
Anaphylaxis is characterized by:
–Rapidly developing, life threatening, Airway and/or
Breathing and or Circulation problems
–Usually with skin and/or mucosal changes

Pathophysiology
Initial contact sensitizes the immune system (does not produce clinical response)
A secondary reaction, mediated by IgE, causes the clinical symptoms of anaphylaxis.
Antigens that stimulate the immune system to produce IgE are called “Allergens”
![Page 12: Workshop Aug 2015: Anaphylaxis](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a65acb67f8b9ac2368b4a4d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Antigen Specific IgE
Fab
Fc
Mast Cell & Basophils
Y Y YY Y Y
Mast Cell Mediators of Anaphylaxis:
Pre-Formed: Newly Formed:
Histamine LeukotrienesTyptase, etc. Platelet-activating FactorNCF-A Prostaglandin D2
![Page 13: Workshop Aug 2015: Anaphylaxis](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a65acb67f8b9ac2368b4a4d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
•Immediate Hypersensitivity. •Mediated By Ige
•Causes The Release of Histamine,LeukotrienesProstaglandins
From Mastcells and Basophils.
•Usually Atopic (Familial Predisposition.
1. Ige Binds To Mast Cells2. Antigen Cross Bridging3. Histamine Release (Mast Cell Degranulation)

•Diagnosis not always obvious
![Page 17: Workshop Aug 2015: Anaphylaxis](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a65acb67f8b9ac2368b4a4d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

•Exposure to a known allergen/trigger
for the patient helps support the
diagnosis
![Page 19: Workshop Aug 2015: Anaphylaxis](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a65acb67f8b9ac2368b4a4d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
•Skin or mucosal changes alone are not a sign of an
anaphylactic reaction
•Skin or mucosal changes can be subtle or absent in up to
20% of reactions (some patients can have only a decrease
in blood pressure i.e., a Circulation problem)
•There can also be gastrointestinal symptoms
(e.g. vomiting, abdominal pain, incontinence)
![Page 20: Workshop Aug 2015: Anaphylaxis](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a65acb67f8b9ac2368b4a4d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

petechial/purpuricrash
![Page 27: Workshop Aug 2015: Anaphylaxis](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a65acb67f8b9ac2368b4a4d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
