Diabetes Mellitus and Sepsis Overview

Anaphylactic reaction is when a bug bite extends to respiratory, cardiovascular, or gastrointestinal symptoms.

Anaphylactic shock is caused by vasodilation from inflammatory mediators, leading to venous pooling, hypotension, severe bronchoconstriction, and acute respiratory difficulty.

The main reason for hypovolaemic shock is a significant reduction in blood volume.
