Anaphylactic shock

Heaviness degrees of the anaphylactic reaction/anaphylactic shock

4 heaviness degrees of an allergic/anaphylactic reaction are defined:

I.
locally restricted skin reaction without a clinical relevance

II.
General symptoms (dizziness, headache, anxiety, and others)+skin reactions (tumescence, pruritus and others)

III.
additional: Blood pressure drop+heart lawn as well as gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, abdomen spasms, vomiting and others), light respiratory troubles

IV.
Additional: Bronchospasm (asthma attack) and shock, rare also Larynxedem, with a strong air need primarily when breathing in (typical murmur)

V.
Breath and circulation interruption

Anaphylactic reaction

The sequence of following troubles which can increase and spread in a rapid velocity is typical of an anaphylactic reaction:
  • In the palms or under the soles of the foot it starts to prickle,
  • the face and followingly the complete body redden themselves, pruritus appears in consequence,
  • a heat feeling climbs in the complete body,
  • the pulse is faster
  • the blood pressure falls: Faint.
Anaphylaktic reaction defines heaviness degrees of the anaphylaktischen reaction/Anaphylaktischer shock become it 4 heaviness degrees of one allergic.

skin reaction locally limited general symptoms (dizziness, headache, fear, and others)+skin reactions (swelling, itching and others) in addition without a clinical relevance.

Blood pressure drop+heart lawn as well as gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, belly cramps, vomiting and others) slight respiratory troubles additional.

Bronchospasmus (asthma attack) and shock, rare also Larynxödem (Zuschwellen of the larynx) with a strong air need v.a. with the breathe in (typical noise) breath and circulation interruption:

Reaction is the sequence of following troubles which can increase and spread in rapid speed Anaphylaktische typically of an anaphylaktische reaction: A heat feeling it starts to tickle soles of the foot, the face and followingly the complete body redden themselves, itching appears in consequence in the palms or under the stays in the complete body open, is the pulse the blood pressure falls faster: Faint.

The anaphylaktic shock represents the extreme variant of an allergic reaction. It is a form of the circulation failure which is based on a surplus reaction of the body to an allergen on which the person became sensibilisert, i.e. allergic. This shock form most frequently appears after insect bites but o.a. prerequisite for the anaphylaktic reaction is always the previous sensitization of the organism after consumption of allergy triggering food after medicine gift of course, too, i.e. in the past, the body must have already once got in contact with the substance and the immune system must with antibody formation and allergy readiness has reacted. The frequency of the contacts with the allergenic substance, however, doesn't correlate with the heaviness of the reaction!
