    Study Notes

    • Anaphylaxis is a serious systemic hypersensitivity reaction.
    • Previous diagnostic requirement of involvement of at least 2 organ systems is no longer valid.
    • Diagnosis is likely with onset of illness that involves urticaria and/or mucosal changes.
    • Significant symptoms from at least one organ system are a factor in diagnosis.
    • Severe organ system involvement after a known allergen exposure is a factor in diagnosis.
    • Respiratory and/or cardiovascular compromise after an allergen exposure is a factor in diagnosis.
    • Angioedema, asthma, croup, food poisoning, and mastocytosis are among the differential diagnoses of anaphylaxis.
    • Cholinergic urticaria, panic attack, urticaria, and vancomycin infusion reaction are also among the differential diagnoses.
    • Cardiac tamponade and neuroendocrine tumor are also differential diagnoses but involve different symptoms.
    • Diagnosis of anaphylaxis is based on a combination of clinical features.
