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.

Azithromycin anaphylaxis in children.

TL;DR: It is shown that cross-reactivity may occur between different macrolidic molecules; it has been suggested that macrolide allergies are unlikely to be class allergies; and the azithromycin allergy shows a surprisingly high sensitivity to the in-vivo tests.

Risk Factors and Characteristics of Biphasic Anaphylaxis.

TL;DR: A biphasic course of anaphylaxis occurs more frequently in severely affected patients with multiorgan involvement, and multiple additional predictors are identified, suggesting that the pathogenesis of bipwasic reactions is more complex than being a rebound of a severe primary reaction.

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.

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.

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.
