Overview

Anaphylaxis can have IgE-mediated, non IgE-mediated and nonimmunologic triggers. IgE mediated allergens include reactions to food, medications and animal dander. Non-IgE mediated reactions can be caused by IVIG, biologic agents and NSAIDs. Nonimmunologic triggers to anaphylaxis include radiocontrast media, opiates, and changes in temperature. ^[1]

Life Threatening Causes

Anaphylaxis is itself a life-threatening condition caused by various allergens. ^[1]

Causes

Common Causes

Anaphylaxis can occur in response to any allergen. Common causes include: ^[2] ^[3] ^[4]

Drug allergies (acetaminophen, penicillins, Prednisolone, cephalosporins, amphotericin B, nitrofurantoin, quinolones)

Food allergies (peanuts, milk, eggs, seafood, nuts, grains, beans, gelatin in capsules)

Insect bites/stings (yellow jacket, yellow and baldfaced hornets, paper wasp, honey bee, imported fire ants)

Nonpollen allergen extracts (dust mites, dander of cats, dogs, horses and laboratory animals)
