Overview
Anaphylaxis may be classified into 2 subtypes/groups: Immunologic-IgE mediated and Immunologic-non-IgE mediated. [1]
Classification
Anaphylaxis may be classified into two groups:
- Immunologic-IgE: whose causes include food allergens, medications, latex, airborne allergens,
- Immunologic-non-IgE: whose causes include IVIG, NSAIDS and aspirin. [1]
There are also three pattern classifications:
- Uniphasic which resolves in an hour
- Biphasic which includes recurrence even without repeated exposure [2]
- Protracted which can lasts for days [3]
