TLDR
There is no universal agreement on the definition of anaphylaxis or the criteria for diagnosis, so representatives from 16 different organizations or government bodies, including representatives from North America, Europe, and Australia, to continue working toward a universally accepted definition.Abstract:
There is no universal agreement on the definition of anaphylaxis or the criteria for diagnosis. In July 2005, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease and Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network convened a second meeting on anaphylaxis, which included representatives from 16 different organizations or government bodies, including representatives from North America, Europe, and Australia, to continue working toward a universally accepted definition of anaphylaxis, establish clinical criteria that would accurately identify cases of anaphylaxis with high precision, further review the evidence on the most appropriate management of anaphylaxis, and outline the research needs in this area.read more

Acute at home management of anaphylaxis: 911: What is the emergency?
TL;DR: In this article , the authors consider the risk factors for biphasic anaphylaxis and show that delaying administration of epinephrine as well as having severe symptoms and needing multiple doses of Epinephrine to treat symptoms are risk factors.

Anaphylaxis management: the essential role of adrenaline (epinephrine) auto-injectors. Should PHARMAC fund them in New Zealand?
TL;DR: It is difficult to understand the continued unwillingness of PHARMAC to fund an adrenaline auto-injector device to at-risk individuals, given the large body of information supporting its efficacy and use.

Gianfranco Cervellin,Fabio Schirosa,Ruggero Buonocore,Antonio Nouvenne,Loris Borghi,Tiziana Meschi,Giuseppe Lippi +6 more
TL;DR: Patients born in spring appear particularly vulnerable to allergic reactions requiring ED visit, and a pattern of seasonality was observed in patients with allergic reactions attributable to aliments, hymenoptera, chemicals or inhalants.

TL;DR: Recommendations for the diagnostic and therapeutic strategy to be adopted by emergency departments faced with angio-oedema of the upper airways in adults, and a search for the aetiology, an evaluation of clinical symptoms and the availability of the treatments are challenges justifying these recommendations.

Fatal and Near-Fatal Anaphylactic Reactions to Food in Children and Adolescents
TL;DR: Six children and adolescents who died of anaphylactic reactions to foods and seven others who nearly died and required intubation were identified and the failure to recognize the severity of these reactions and to administer epinephrine promptly increases the risk of a fatal outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fatalities due to anaphylactic reactions to foods.
TL;DR: Fatal anaphylactic reactions to foods are continuing to occur, and better characterization might lead to better prevention, and peanuts and tree nuts accounted for more than 90% of the fatalities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical features and severity grading of anaphylaxis
TL;DR: A simple grading system and definition of anaphylaxis has potential value for defining reaction severity in clinical practice and research settings and appears to be the major determinants of reaction severity.
