Abstract

Anaphylaxis is the most severe of the allergic hypersensitivity reactions. It is caused by the release of mediators from blood components such as mast cells and basophils into the bloodstream. Anaphylaxis is a common disease, its diagnosis is clinical and, given its pathophysiology, the treatment of choice is adrenaline.

Keywords: adrenaline; adrénaline; allergic hypersensitivity; anaphylaxie; anaphylaxis; emergency; hypersensibilité allergique; pathophysiology; physiopathologie; urgence.
