Anaphylaxis syndromes related to a new mammalian cross-reactive carbohydrate determinant.

29 Sep 2009 Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction that can rapidly progress and occasionally be fatal. In instances in which the triggering allergen is not obvious, establishing the cause of anaphylaxis is pivotal to long-term management. Assigning cause is ... Read more...

Mechanisms of mast cell signaling in anaphylaxis.

29 Sep 2009 The recent development of a consensus definition and proposed diagnostic criteria for anaphylaxis offers promise for research efforts and a better understanding of the epidemiology and pathogenesis of this enigmatic and life-threatening disease. ... Read more...

Anaphylaxis: Recent advances in assessment and treatment.

29 Sep 2009 The incidence rate of anaphylaxis is increasing, particularly during the first 2 decades of life. Common triggers include foods, medications, and insect stings. Clinical diagnosis is based on a meticulous history of an exposure or event preceding ... Read more...
