On a pathophysiologic level, anaphylaxis is caused by the release of mediators from certain types of white blood cells triggered either by immunologic or non-immunologic mechanisms. It is diagnosed based on the presenting symptoms and signs. The primary treatment is injection of epinephrine, with other measures being complementary.
Worldwide 0.05–2% of people are estimated to have anaphylaxis at some point in their life and rates appear to be increasing.[2] The term comes from the Greek words ἀνά ana, against, and φύλαξις phylaxis, protection.
