Overview

The progression to anaphylaxis usually involves an IgE-mediated or non IgE-mediated response. It is a medical emergency that involves multiple systems. [1] The condition involves pulmonary, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular and integumentary systems and can lead to cardiorespiratory arrest. [2]

Pathophysiology

Anaphylaxis arises from mast cell and basophil degranulation after repeated exposure to an antigen. This results in a type 1 hypersensitivity reaction. The IgE then crosslinks and aggregates with receptors resulting in the release of histamine, proteoglycans, and tryptase. This results in arachidonic acid metabolites being released with further consequences. The reaction as a whole leads to vasodilation, increase heart rate, bronchoconstriction, and hypoperfusion of vital organs. [1]

Anaphylactic shock, the most severe type of anaphylaxis, occurs when an allergic response triggers a quick release from mast cells of large quantities of immunological mediators (histamines, prostaglandins, leukotrienes) leading to systemic vasodilation (associated with a sudden drop in blood pressure) and edema of bronchial mucosa (resulting in bronchoconstriction and difficulty breathing). Anaphylactic shock can lead to death in a matter of minutes if left untreated. [2]

Genetics

Genes involved in the pathogenesis of anaphylaxis include:[3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]

  • Polymorphisms in IL-10, IL-13, IL-4Rα linked to anaphylaxis to drugs and latex.
  • PAF-AH activity levels are correlated inversely with the severity of anaphylaxis.
  • Variations in angiotensinogen MM genotype with low levels of angiotensin are linked with high rates of hymenoptera venom allergy.
  • Patients with peanut allergies and low serum ACE levels are linked with high rates of pharyngeal edema.
  • Activating mutation in c-KIT and D816V are associated with mastocytosis and hyperresponsivity of their mast cells with resulting increasing severity of anaphylaxis rates.
  • Anaphylaxis occurs more commonly in women though the mechanism is not clear.

Associated Conditions

Conditions associated with [disease name] include:

  • [Condition 1]
  • [Condition 2]
  • [Condition 3]

Gross Pathology

Microscopic Pathology

On microscopic histopathological analysis, [feature1], [feature2], and [feature3] are characteristic findings of [disease name].
