ROJO GUTIERREZ, María Isabel; ROSTAN, Marylin Valentín; LATOUR STAFFELD, Patricia y JARES, Edgardo José. Food anaphylaxis. Rev. alerg. Méx. [online]. 2023, vol.70, n.4, pp.300-305. Epub 29-Abr-2024. ISSN 2448-9190. https://doi.org/10.29262/ram.v70i4.1341.
Anaphylaxis, a potentially life-threatening reaction, is characterized by acute symptoms affecting various systems and requires immediate medical intervention. While the overall mortality rate is low, anaphylaxis induced by foods and drugs has seen an increase. Common triggers include foods, drugs, and Hymenoptera venom. Epidemiology varies by region and age, with a global incidence of 50-112 episodes per 100,000 people annually. Implicated foods vary by age and region, with peanuts and nuts being common triggers. Two mechanisms of anaphylaxis are recognized: IgE-mediated and non-IgE-mediated. Diagnosis is based on clinical criteria and serum tryptase levels. Treatment includes epinephrine, oxygen, and intravenous fluids. Exercise-induced food-dependent anaphylaxis is addressed, where exercise, combined with certain foods, triggers anaphylactic reactions. Proper understanding and management are crucial to mitigate risks.
