The potential for anaphylactic shock to be misdiagnosed exists, as the "early symptoms" can be mistaken for milder allergic reactions or even asthma attacks. Additionally, this may be compounded by patients having other allergies such as hay fever, eczema or asthma.
The purpose of this website is to provide information for Healthcare Professionals assisting in prompt diagnosis and appropriate management of severe allergic conditions including use of intra–muscular adrenaline with EpiPen Auto-Injectors.
