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

Hypersensitivity and immunologic reactions to biologics: opportunities for the allergist
TL;DR: Hypersensitivity reactions and immune dysregulation from biologic agents are not rare and the allergist and immunologist should be involved in managing these patients for optimal care.

TL;DR: The methods of NAP6 were robust in identifying causative agents of anaphylaxis, and support the accompanying analytical papers.

A Randomised Controlled Trial of Two Infusion Rates to Decrease Reactions to Antivenom
Geoffrey K. Isbister,Seyed Shahmy,Fahim Mohamed,Chandana Abeysinghe,Harendra Karunathilake,Ariaranee Ariaratnam +5 more
TL;DR: A slower infusion rate of antivenom would not reduce the rate of severe systemic hypersensitivity reactions from current high rates and more effort should be put into developing better quality antivenoms.

Scratching the surface of allergic transfusion reactions.
William J. Savage,Aaron A.R. Tobian,Jessica H. Savage,Robert A. Wood,John T. Schroeder,Paul M. Ness +5 more
TL;DR: Evidence suggests that donor, product, and recipient factors are involved, and it is possible that many ATRs are multifactorial, and that rationally designed and cost‐effective prevention measures can be developed.

TL;DR: A high‐level complex structure of classification for hypersensitivity/allergic diseases has been constructed and the model proposed has been presented to the WHO groups in charge of the ICD revision.

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.
