Anaphylaxis
Introduction Anaphylaxis is a sudden, serious allergic reaction that can be life threatening. Symptoms may be mild to start, but they become severe in minutes, or even seconds. Occasionally, the symptoms develop gradually over 24 hours. The more quickly the symptoms begin, the more severe they generally are. Many people who are susceptible to anaphylaxis carry emergency medicine with them. Anaphylaxis is a medical emergency, and although rare, it causes about 500 deaths each year.
