Anaphylactic shock due to serum - what does this mean
Anaphylactic shock due to serum occurs when an individual is exposed to a serum protein to which they have a sensitivity, resulting in an allergic reaction. this reaction causes the body to release histamine and other mediators of inflammation, resulting in a sudden drop in blood pressure, difficulty breathing, and other symptoms of anaphylaxis.
What happens during the disease - anaphylactic shock due to serum
Anaphylactic shock due to serum is a severe allergic reaction that occurs when a person is exposed to a foreign protein. the foreign protein triggers an immune response in which antibodies are produced to attack the protein. this response causes the release of histamine and other chemicals that can lead to the narrowing of the airways, decrease in blood pressure, and other symptoms of anaphylaxis.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Take a detailed medical history of the patient, including any allergies.
- Perform a physical examination to look for signs of anaphylaxis.
- Perform a skin prick test to detect any allergic reactions.
- Order a blood test to measure serum levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE).
- Perform an intradermal skin test to detect any allergic reactions.
- Perform an oral challenge test to detect allergic reactions.
- Order a serum tryptase test to measure levels of tryptase, an enzyme released during anaphylaxis.
- Order a chest X-ray to check for any signs of anaphylaxis.
- Order an electrocardiogram (ECG) to check for any abnormal heart rhythms.
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: To reduce the severity of anaphylactic shock due to serum.
- Administer epinephrine to reduce symptoms and maintain blood pressure
- Administer antihistamines to reduce inflammation and itching
- Administer corticosteroids to reduce inflammation
- Administer bronchodilators to reduce airway constriction
- Administer oxygen to improve breathing
- Administer intravenous fluids to maintain hydration and electrolyte balance
- Observe patient closely to monitor for any further symptoms
12 Days of Hospitalization Required
