Anaphylaxis in children: A nine years retrospective study (2001–2009)

Abstract: The most important causes of anaphylaxis in our study were foods, and the most common symptoms were respiratory and cutaneous. The prevalence of anaphylaxis was higher in males and, in two thirds of patients there was a history of atopy. Despite being the primary and most important treatment for anaphylaxis, adrenaline is still used in only a minority of these cases.

“…21 Similar to previous studies, we found a predominance of DIA reactions in adult and elderly female patients and not in children and/or adolescent patients. 16,[28][29][30] Other investigators have reported similar findings in DIA associated with perioperative anaphylaxis. 18 The present study did not identify any specific host risk factors for DIA.…”

“…Anaflaksi sıklığının son yıllarda giderek artması önemini daha da arttırmıştır. Ancak son yıllarda yapılan çalışmalarda, anafilaktik reaksiyonların tedavi ve tedavisinde hem dünyada hem de ülkemizde hekimlerin bilgi eksikliğinin olduğunu gösterilmiştir [10,11,14,15]. Krugman ve ark [17] yaptıkları çalışmada alerji eğitimi almayan pediatristlerin sadece %56'sının besin kaynaklı anafilaksiyi tanıdıkları saptandı.…”

“…Further investigation into these episodes may include identification of normal hemodynamics (normal blood pressure or heart rate despite syncope), hyperventilation without airway obstruction, stridorous noises from the upper airway, and transient hypoxia by pulse oximetry that resolves with distraction and normal respiration. These patients may ultimately be diagnosed with vocal cord dysfunction or panic attacks, and empiric treatment with prednisone may increase the frequency of episodes rather than the expected decrease in IA [2,7,8]. In our experience, vocal cord dysfunction itself is a common diagnosis in patients labeled with IA who present chiefly with a complaint of Bthroat swelling.^Many of these patients will report subjective swelling of the lips and tongue and sometimes may have some objective findings such as mild flushing or an exaggerated blush response.…”
