Erratum: Vol. 45, No. RR-12
In the MMWR Recommendations and Reports entitled "Update: Vaccine Side Effects, Adverse Reactions, Contraindications, and Precautions -- Recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP)," the first complete paragraph on page 10 should read: "OPV should not be administered to persons who have experienced an Anaphylactic Reaction to a previous dose of OPV." The next paragraph should read: "IPV should not be administered to persons who have experienced a) an Anaphylactic Reaction following a previous dose of IPV or b) an Anaphylactic Reaction to streptomycin, polymyxin B, or neomycin."

An intravenous injection of homologous intestinal extract induced in about 60% of total-body x-irradiated (400 or 450 r) guinea pigs caused a Reaction with symptoms resembling the Anaphylactic Reaction. The Reaction was maximal about the eighth post-irradiation day. The Reaction was observed when extracts deriving either from normal or from irradiated animals were used. The attempt to sensitize normal guinea pigs with the intestinal extract was not successful. (auth)

healthfinder.gov — Frequently Asked Questions About Anaphylaxis
This document provides answers to frequently asked questions about anaphylaxis, a sudden, severe, potentially fatal, systemic allergic Reaction that can involve various areas of the body (such as the skin, respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, and cardiovascular system). The document includes information on the common causes of anaphylaxis and symptoms of an Anaphylactic Reaction. It also discusses who is at risk for having an Anaphylactic Reaction.

Pollens and other inhaled allergens rarely cause anaphylaxis. Some people have an Anaphylactic Reaction with no known cause.
Immunizations
Anaphylactic Reaction to a vaccine / vaccine constituent contraindicates further doses of that vaccine.
Possession and Self-Administration of Auto-Injectable Epinephrine by Students in Public Schools.
In addition, an emergency care plan also must be developed, including symptoms of Anaphylactic Reaction. A registered professional school nurse must provide training for appropriate school staff in the use of auto-injectable epinephrine as outlined in the Manual for the Training of Public School Employees in the Administration of Medication, i ssued by the Virginia Department of Education.

Some individuals have an Anaphylactic Reaction, and the symptoms go away only to return a few hours later. This is called a bi-phasic Reaction. Often the symptoms of the bi-phasic Reaction occur in the respiratory system and take the individual by surprise. Therefore, according to the AAAAI, after a serious Reaction "observation in a hospital setting is necessary for at least four hours after initial symptoms subside because delayed and prolonged reactions may occur even after proper initial treatment."

An Anaphylactic Reaction occurs after a person eats a food to which they are allergic. Each year in the United States, several hundred people die from anaphylaxis, which can even strike people with no previously diagnosed food allergies.

The claimant seeks temporary total disability (TTD) benefits for the 24-week period during which she was unemployed, due to the fact that she had to quit her job abruptly when her treating allergist, Dr. Henry Kanarek, diagnosed a life-threatening Reaction to latex by the claimant and recommended strict avoidance of latex (Claimant s Exhibit I, pp. 9-10). Dr. Kanarek opined the etiology of the claimant s latex allergy was "her exposure is due to latex in her environment and working in a hospital setting, laboratory setting" based on the claimant s history, his own examination, and the results of laboratory tests ordered by him (Claimant s Exhibit I, pp. 19-20). Dr. Kanarek further opined the claimant s condition of latex sensitivity or latex allergy is a long-term or most likely life-threatening Reaction the rest of her life (Claimant s Exhibit p. 12; Deposition Exhibit 4) (letter to Thomas McGee, found in Dr. Kanarek s office records, Deposition Exhibit 3). There was some evidence at trial the employer attempted to find work for the claimant in a latex-free lab setting; specifically, the genetics lab in old St. Mary s Hospital. However, the claimant testified she investigated the genetics lab and its hospital environment and found latex gloves were still in use in that environment. Thus, she could not return to work in the genetics lab. No further evidence was adduced by the employer regarding any attempt to locate a latex-safe environment for the claimant. The claimant could not reasonably be expected to return to work in an environment where latex gloves were in use, given the life-threatening nature of her Reaction to latex on January 21, 1997. Even the employer s expert, Dr. Charles Siegel, when questioned about his recommendations for the claimant to return to work, admitted on cross-examination, if he had an Anaphylactic Reaction to latex, and did not have a latex safe environment, he would not continue to work there himself (Employer/ Insure
AHRQ WebM&M: Case & Commentary
The patient in the room next to him was also receiving antibiotics. Inadvertently, the antibiotics were switched at the nursing station, resulting in the administration of Nafcillin (a penicillin-like antibiotic) to the AIDS patient, who in the past had a known Anaphylactic-shock Reaction to penicillins. The difficulty was, if the AIDS patient developed anaphylaxis to the Nafcillin, there was a good chance he would suffer a cardiopulmonary arrest, given the advanced state of his illness. If this were to occur, he would likely die if heroic measures were not taken. The nurse taking care of both patients realized the error after she went to give the other patient his antibiotics and saw that the printed label did not match the patient s name. Unfortunately, the wrong medication had already been given to the AIDS patient. After noticing the error, the nurse called the covering physician. The physician spoke to the patient, advised him that he might possibly suffer anaphylaxis to the errant medication, and asked him if he wanted to maintain his code status as DNR/ DNI. The patient was treated prophylactically for the possibility of allergic/ Anaphylactic Reaction. For the next several hours, his nursing care became more intensive with more frequent vital sign checks. Luckily, he did not suffer any adverse outcome from the medication. By the next morning, it was clear that there were no sequelae.

Guinea pigs were sensitized with and then challenged with horse serum 14 days later. The Anaphylactic reactions of this group were taken as control and compared with the Anaphylactic reactions observed in animals sensitized from 30 min to 14 days before irradiation (350 or 400 r), and with the reactions observed in animals sensitized from 30 min to 14 days after the exposure to the same doses of x rays. The reactions in animals sensitized after irradiation were much less than those observed in controls; no lethal response was observed. However, the Anaphylactic response in animals sensitized before irradiation showed a higher percentage of fatal Reaction than in the unirradiated group. The lethal Anaphylactic response depended on how long before irradiation sensitization was performed. Eighty percent of guinea pigs sensitized from 1 to 14 days before irradiation gave a fatal Reaction on subsequent challenge. Animals sensitized 30 min, 8 hr, or 12 hr before irradiation showed the same mortality rate as the control unirradiated group. In experiments on the passive transfer of Anaphylactic hypersensitivity, pooled blood serum obtained from normal or irradiated guinea pigs 14 days after sensitization, viz. 15 days after irradiation, was injected intraperitoneally into normal or irradiated animals. Serum obtained from normal guinea pigs 14 days after sensitization was injected intraperitoneally into normal or irradiated animals (5 days after exposure to 400 or 450 r). All passively sensitized animals showed an Anaphylactic Reaction after challenge (24 hr after receiving the sensitizing serum), and no effect of irradiation was detectable. In the 2nd experiment, serum was obtained from guinea pigs sensitized 24 hr after irradiation with 300 r. The normal recipients manifested an appreciably weaker Anaphylactic response to challenge than after receiving serum from normal sensitized animals. Thus, the blood of irradiated sensitized animals contained fewer circulating antibod
Anaphylaxis: An Allergic Reaction That Can Kill (May 1989)
Experts disagree about whether certain individuals are predisposed to anaphylaxis. Many feel that people with a history of allergies are more likely to have an Anaphylactic episode; others are unconvinced that this or other factors--such as age, sex, race or geographic location--predispose a person to it. One thing is clear, though: Previous exposure to the allergen usually precedes the Anaphylactic Reaction. Sometimes people will notice that an allergen makes them feel bad in some way--perhaps mild itching or upset stomach. This may indicate that future exposure will produce a more severe Reaction.
