Anaphylaxis Types
By Dr Ananya Mandal, MD
Anaphylaxis is a life threatening condition that is brought about by a severe allergic reaction.
Mechanism of anaphylaxis
The triggers or causes of anaphylaxis may range from insect venom or stings to foods, drugs and medications. The trigger may be exercising in cold dry climates as well.
Most of these triggers however act via Immunoglobulin E (IgE). The IgE cross links with the mast cells and basophils binding to FceRI present on these cells.
