What is Anaphylaxis?

Anaphylaxis is a severe, rapid-onset, and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction that involves multiple body systems simultaneously, requiring immediate emergency treatment. It occurs when the immune system releases a flood of chemicals in response to an allergen, causing the body to go into a state of shock, with symptoms typically developing within minutes of exposure. Common triggers include certain foods, insect stings, medications, and latex, though the exact trigger cannot always be identified. Without prompt treatment with epinephrine, anaphylaxis can rapidly progress to cause airway obstruction, cardiovascular collapse, and death.
