Article Abstract

Increased risk of severe and resistant anaphylactic shock is a rare and not widely known adverse effect of beta-blocker treatment. It is illustrated in a case of refractory anaphylactic shock occurring in a 47-year-old woman who received beta-blockers. Actually, beta-blockers increase the release of anaphylactic mediators, decrease the cardiovascular compensatory changes to the anaphylactic shock and promote paradoxical reflex vagotonic effects when using epinephrine.

Background: Tree nut/Peanut (TN/PN) allergies are among the most common pediatric food allergies, often persisting into later life and posing significant clinical risks. The likelihood of tolerance acquisition varies, and predictive factors remain inadequately defined in clinical practice.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical and laboratory features associated with anaphylaxis risk and tolerance development in pediatric patients with TN/PN allergy, and to determine the role of aeroallergen sensitization, comorbid atopic diseases, and skin test reactivity.

In wheat allergy dependent on augmentation factors (WALDA), allergic reactions occur when wheat ingestion is combined with exercise or rarely other augmentation factors. We analyzed clinical characteristics and disease burden in recreationally active and trained individuals with WALDA diagnosed by oral challenge test. Clinical characteristics, serological data, and quality of life (QOL) questionnaires were analyzed and completed with follow-up interviews.

NSG-SGM3 humanized mouse models are well-suited for studying human immune physiology but are technically challenging and expensive. We previously characterized a simplified NSG-SGM3 mouse, engrafted with human donor CD34 hematopoietic stem cells without receiving prior bone marrow ablation or human secondary lymphoid tissue implantation, that still retains human mast cell- and basophil-dependent passive anaphylaxis responses. Its capacities for human antibody production and human B cell maturation, however, remain unknown.

Local anesthetics (LAs) are widely used to relieve surgical pain. Pure amide-type LAs rarely cause allergic reactions. Here, we present a case of anaphylaxis induced by multiple pure amide agents.

Background: Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening, systemic allergic reaction. This study aims to compare anaphylactic triggers, clinical presentation and management between elderly (≥65 years old) and non-elderly adults.

Methods: Data from the Cross-Canada Anaphylaxis Registry (C-CARE) from April 2011 to May 2024 was collected, spanning five emergency departments (EDs) and one emergency medical service (EMS) across three Canadian provinces.
