Definition and Criteria for the Diagnoses of Anaphylaxis / An Epidemiological Approach to Reducing the Risk of Fatal Anaphylaxis / Pathophysiology and Organ Damage in Anaphylaxis / Mast Cells: Effector Cells of Anaphylaxis / Basophils in Anaphylaxis / Protease Mediators of Anaphylaxis / Aspirin and NSAID Reactions: Diagnosis, Pathophysiology, and Management / IgE-Dependent and Independent Effector Mechanisms in Human and Murine Anaphylaxis / Food-Induced Anaphylaxis / Antibiotic-Induced Anaphylaxis / Anaphylaxis During Radiological Proceduresand in the Peri-operative Setting / Hymenoptera-Induced Hypersensitivity Reactions and Anaphylaxis / Idiopathic Anaphylaxis / Exercise-Induced Anaphylaxis and Food-Dependent Exercise-Induced Anaphylaxis / Mastocytosis and Mast Cell Activation Syndromes Presenting as Anaphylaxis / Anaphylaxis in Mastocytosis / Flushing and Urticarial Syndromes Presenting as Anaphylaxis / Pharmacologic Management of Acute Anaphylaxis / Drug Desensitizations in the Management of Allergy and Anaphylaxisto Chemotherapeutic Agents and Monoclonal Antibodies / Rapid Desensitizations for Antibiotic-Induced Hypersensitivity Reactions and Anaphylaxis / Induction of Tolerance for Food-Induced Anaphylaxis / Management of Anaphylaxis: Relevance of Causesand Future Trends in Treatment / Phil Lieberman -- Richard S.H Pumphrey -- Stephen F. Kemp and Richard F. Lockey -- Stephen J. Galli -- David E. Sloane and Donald MacGlashan -- George H. Caughey -- Andrew A. White, Tanya M. Laidlaw, and Katharine Woessner -- Fred D.

Despite its wide recognition as a serious public health problem, anaphylaxis and hypersensitivity reactions remain under-recognized and under-diagnosed. This book fills the gaps in the recognition of clinical presentation and triggers, the understanding of the natural history of these reactions, and the selection of treatment strategies including cellular and molecular targets. The book provides a detailed examination of etiology, pathogenesis, and pathophysiology and their correlation to clinical practice. The mediators and mechanisms of anaphylaxis are described and specific causal factors are covered with emphasis on current and emerging therapies.
