Pediatric anaphylaxis: triggers, clinical features, and treatment in a tertiary-care hospital
Conclusions: The incidence of anaphylaxis in Thai children is increasing. Anaphylaxis in children commonly occurred without the histories of prior reaction to the causative agent. Less frequent treatment with intramuscular epinephrine was associated with biphasic and severe anaphylaxis. A better knowledge of patterns and causes of anaphylaxis might contribute to a better management.
